The Ravens Have the Fastest Team in the NFL and Every Defense Should be Terrified
By Tyler Kemp
In the NFL, speed kills. Just ask the Super Bowl LIV-winning Kansas City Chiefs.
One team that will try to emulate turning NFL games into track meets is the Baltimore Ravens. In a season in which they finished 14-2 and won the AFC North, head coach John Harbaugh and his offense will look to build on their 2019 success.
With the offensive skill position players, this team can go up against anyone in a dead heat relay, even the track team in Kansas City led by Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins and Mecole Hardman. When you combine 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson’s speed along with Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, Justice Hill, and new draft picks JK Dobbins, Miles Boykin and Devin Duvernay, NFL defensive coordinators are going to be kept up all night thinking of their preparations before playing against Baltimore.
The #Ravens have the fastest offense in the NFL:

QB: Lamar Jackson (4.34)
RB: JK Dobbins (4.44)
RB: Justice Hill (4.40)
WR: Marquise Brown (4.33)
WR: Miles Boykin (4.42)
WR: Devin Duvernay (4.39)
TE: Mark Andrews (4.67)
There's speed all over the place. How can anyone defend this successfully for 60 minutes?
Even tight end Mark Andrews can outrun most linebackers trying to cover him. This offense is going to have a field day for 16 weeks running circles around the NFL.
How many teams have three offensive players with sub 4.4 speed..!?

With this kind of speed in Baltimore, good luck tackling any of these guys in the open field. When the Chiefs and Ravens face off in Week 3, that will determine which skill position group is the true Legion of Zoom.
