Tyler Linderbaum has emerged as a leading contender for the newly introduced NFL Protector of the Year award, which recognizes the top offensive lineman in the league. The announcement of this award marks a significant acknowledgment of the often overlooked role that offensive linemen play in a team’s success. Although Linderbaum's candidacy is strong, it is notable that currently, no players from the Baltimore Ravens' roster are labeled as top candidates. The 2025 season could shift dynamics as the Ravens’ offensive line has shown improvement and cohesion over the previous season.
