BAL ⢠⢠#
One major trait that stands out in Ruckerâs game is his speed off the ball. If youâre playing him on the outside, he can really win those bull rush battles. His speed also helps him consistently get to the quarterback, posting an 81.8 pass rush grade in 2024. Rucker really blew up in 2023, where he recorded 61 total tackles and 8.5 sacks. He plays with a high motor, and his combination of speed and bend on the outside is impressive. His 32 â -inch armspan has given him the advantage to win those one-on-one battles. He is active with his hands, and he doesnât rely on one move. As a run defender, there are times where he relies on his speed. Meaning, heâll lack the upper body strength and sometimes get beat right away. Rucker also isnât as physical off the ball consistently. Overall, Rucker has consistently improved over his collegiate career, recording 18 sacks over the last three seasons. A fractured fibula left Rucker unsigned through the early part of post-draft free agency, but the Ravens are apparently comfortable enough with the injury to take a chance.
