David Ojabo Has Kept Working With His Head Down And Spirits Up

However, Ojabo will have to earn a place in this year’s crowded outside linebacker room. Ojabo, second-round pick Mike Green, Tavius Robinson, Adisa Isaac, and others are vying for roles and roster spots behind Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh, who led Baltimore’s pass rush in 2024.

Having a healthy offseason has allowed Ojabo to work on strength, conditioning, and technique rather than rehab, and he believes it will pay off. He has spent the past few months working diligently at the Under Armour Performance Center and has never felt better physically or mentally.

“I focused on the little things, my flexibility, strengthening areas that got weaker due to injury, working on my craft,” Ojabo said. “I expect big things. I was here most of the time. The best way to train like a Raven is to train with the Ravens. Nothing can prepare you for what we do here better than being here.”

Much will unfold between now and this fall but Pass Rush Coach Chuck Smith sees the foundation Ojabo is building.

“Ojabo’s last year was pretty much the first year he was healthy,” Smith said. “A lot of times when you’re getting healthy, you’re not necessarily gaining, you’re just trying to manage to get back to where you started.

“This offseason, his platform has raised from the standpoint of, he’s had a chance to work harder. He has worked really hard. Ojabo plays hard, he competes hard, and I’m excited about what he gets a chance to do in training camp.”
