The Baltimore Ravens have been showcasing their potential breakout players on both offense and defense during recent OTA practices. With a mix of established starters and under-the-radar talents, the Ravens' roster is shaping up for an exciting season.

On the offensive side of the ball, wide receiver Rashod Bateman is emerging as the known commodity. With a strong finish to his rookie year and an offseason of training, Bateman is primed to flourish. With Odell Beckham Jr. no longer on the roster, Bateman will have ample opportunities to showcase his skills and is expected to surpass his career highs in catches and yards this season.

Guard Ben Cleveland is the under-the-radar breakout candidate on offense. After battling injuries early in his career, Cleveland has developed into a consistent practice player and is the favorite to secure the starting right guard spot. Similar to Ben Powers' breakout fourth year, Cleveland has the potential to make significant contributions to the Ravens' offensive line.

Turning to defense, Odafe Oweh is the player resembling last year's breakout star Justin Madubuike. While Oweh had a solid rookie season, his film and pressure rate indicate significant improvement. With dominant performances in recent practices, Oweh has the potential to more than double his sack production this season. His strong showing in OTAs has raised expectations for his impact on the Ravens' defense.

Linebacker Trenton Simpson is the under-the-radar breakout candidate on defense. After showing hesitancy during his rookie season, Simpson has transformed this offseason. Now flying around the field with increased speed and confidence, Simpson is poised to fill the shoes of former standout Patrick Queen. A physical transformation combined with improved instincts make Simpson a player to watch closely.

In other Ravens news, the team is considering adding depth at the safety position. Head Coach John Harbaugh recently confirmed that standout safety Jamal Adams visited the team. While Adams' signing is not guaranteed, the Ravens view the No. 3 safety position as crucial and have several in-house candidates, including Ar'Darius Washington, Sanoussi Kane, Beau Brade, and Jordan Toles, who are vying for the role.

As for the wide receiver position, the Ravens are unlikely to add a veteran player unless injuries occur during training camp. They have high hopes for the health and productivity of Rashod Bateman, while Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor provide strong options. Undrafted wide receiver Dayton Wade has impressed early on, but cracking the roster will be a challenge for any undrafted receiver.

Lastly, in terms of cornerbacks, Jalyn Armour-Davis is poised to see significant playing time alongside the likes of Hump, Stevens, and Wiggins. The third-year player has always possessed the necessary skills, but injuries have hindered his progress. If he can stay healthy, Armour-Davis is expected to contribute as a rotational cornerback.

As the Ravens continue their preparations, these breakout candidates provide a glimpse into the team's bright future. Fans can look forward to an exciting season as these players aim to make a significant impact on both offense and defense.
