9 Ravens Who Had a Breakout Season in 2022
These players stepped up with career years in 2022, which could mean even bigger seasons ahead.

LB Patrick Queen
Queen has already had some fine seasons, but he took it to another level this year. He was already trending in the right direction and the arrival of Roquan Smith helped Queen play some of his best football over the second half of the season. Queen set career-highs in tackles (117), sacks (5.0), quarterback hits (14), and interceptions (2).
"We were really excited by the way Patrick played this year," General Manager Eric DeCosta said. "We think he made a jump. He showed play-making ability, leadership. He just really, really over the course of the season became the player that we kind of envisioned him being."

DT Broderick Washington
Washington was a rotational player his first two years in the league, but stepped into a major role this year as a nine-game starter. He played a career-high 44% of the defensive snaps and didn't miss a game. Washington finished with a career-high 49 tackles and added one sack.

OG Ben Powers
Powers solidified the left guard spot that was up for grabs entering the year, starting all 17 games and playing all 1,096 snaps. Powers earned Pro Football Focus' second-highest pass blocking grade of any guard in the league and his run blocking was a huge part of why Baltimore finished as one of the top rushing teams in the league again.
"Ben has probably improved as much as anybody on our team. He had a phenomenal season this year," DeCosta said.

DT Justin Madubuike
Madubuike broke out with 5.5 sacks this season after registering three in his first two years. He tied Calais Campbell for the second-most sacks on the team and provided the interior pressure the Ravens have lacked in recent years.

TE Josh Oliver
Oliver went from being on the bubble at training camp to a key piece of the offense. He played all 17 games, started nine, and played 47% of the offensive snaps. Oliver became, in the words of his coaches, one of the league's top blocking tight ends, and he caught a career-high 14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Oliver becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

S Geno Stone
Stone stepped in as a seven-game starter when Marcus Williams missed time with a dislocated wrist and played well. He finished the year with a career-high 38 tackles and one forced fumble. Stone also stepped into Anthony Levine's role as a core special teams leader.

WR Devin Duvernay
Duvernay was already a Pro Bowl returner from the 2021 season, but he emerged as a bigger offensive threat in his third season. Duvernay caught a career-high 37 passes for 407 yards and three touchdowns. He hadn't topped 300 receiving yards in his two previous seasons. Duvernay's yards per target jumped from 5.8 to 8.3. He continued to be a threat on jet sweeps, taking a career-high 12 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown.

S Kyle Hamilton
As the 14th-overall pick, Hamilton entered the league with high expectations. He met them and more, finishing as the top-graded safety in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. Hamilton didn't play a traditional safety role, instead utilized mostly as a slot defender that was a tough matchup against tight ends and physical presence around the line of scrimmage. He played that role at a very high level.

OC Tyler Linderbaum
Linderbaum started every game and played all but two snaps in his rookie season. He finished with the fourth-best run blocking grade of all NFL centers, showcasing his elite movement skills and hard-nosed physicality. Linderbaum's ability to pull and get to the second level to block linebackers added another element to Baltimore's run game.
