Ravens HC John Harbaugh gives high praise to C Tyler Linderbaum

The Baltimore Ravens came out of Pittsburgh with a 16-14 win over the Steelers without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and also Tyler Huntley after he left the game with a concussion.  The running game and the defense were the keys to victory, with rookie center Tyler Linderbaum playing at an elite level once again.

Pittsburgh’s defensive line was a big test for Linderbaum, as they have talents such as veteran Cam Hayward. However, the former Iowa star held his own against one of the best in the league, and after the game Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh praised Linderbaum for his efforts.

The center position was a position of need for the Ravens coming into the 2022 draft.  They traded away wide receiver Marquise Brown on draft night for a first-round pick, and were able to select Linderbaum with the selection. So far that pick has worked out very well, and it looks like he’s going to get better each and every game.
