L.J. Fort

Fort was a quality in-season acquisition last season for the Ravens, racking up 35 tackles and 2.0 sacks in 12 games. However, the Ravens' run defense as a whole was a weak spot on that unit as they allowed 4.4 yards per carry on the year. The Ravens addressed that issue by drafting a pair of linebackers in the first three rounds in April. Fort will likely open as a starter alongside first-rounder Patrick Queen, but as a journeyman who has never played more than 306 snaps in a single season, there's no guarantee that Fort carves out an every-down role for all 16 games. He profiles as a rotational piece who could lose snaps as the season unfolds.

Fort has played in just one NFL game in the past three years, and starts the 2016 season buried on the Steelers' linebacker depth chart.

Fort recorded 20 tackles, one sack, and one interception in his rookie season with Cleveland. His action included one start, but he'll begin the 2013 season as a backup.

Fort was signed as an undrafted rookie in May. The odds of him making the team were slim, until a season-ending injury to Chris Gocong, and a suspension to team leader Scott Fujita really thinned the linebacking corps. He will now get snaps in 2012, and add depth to the defense.
