The Baltimore Ravens continue to strengthen their secondary, a key component in their recent success alongside Lamar Jackson's dynamic play. The team has acquired first-round pick Malaki Starks, who is expected to learn from standout Kyle Hamilton. Veteran Chidobe Awuzie was also added, potentially taking on a starting role at cornerback. The Ravens are rumored to pursue former All-Pro Stephon Gilmore to further enhance their pass coverage, which has seen steady improvement over the past seasons.

Gilmore, now entering his age-35 season, boasts an impressive resume with 32 interceptions and has played crucial roles in various teams, including the New England Patriots, where he earned two All-Pro selections. His familiarity with man-heavy schemes could provide a seamless integration into the Ravens' defensive strategy, which ranked high in man coverage during the previous season. With additional free-agent opportunities available, the Ravens are positioned to solidify their defense as they prepare for the coming season.
