The Baltimore Ravens boasted the most formidable rushing attack during the 2019 campaign. Regardless, this did not prevent them from shoring up a surplus of talent in the backfield by taking J.K. Dobbins in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Dobbins will now be joining a running back committee headed by Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill. Fortunately, Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman feels this is a good problem to have going into the 2020 NFL season. via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk:

“I love good problems,” Roman said. “I think I’ve learned over the years, if you got good problems, bring ’em this way. And I say that unabashedly. Talented, hardworking players that love football, bring ’em on. And the fact that we’ve got a lot of guys in our running back stable, if you will, just makes me excited to no end. . . . We’ll find ways to make it work, for sure. To have that kind of backfield is a blessing.”

There is certainly plenty of truth to Roman's comments considering this is arguably the most grueling position in the NFL. Having an abundance of talent in the backfield can provide the Ravens with some security for their run-heavy approach.

Although there is certainly no shortage of talent for the Ravens to work with, quarterback Lamar Jackson and Ingram did most of the heavy lifting during their historic run last season. Jackson's efforts helped him secure MVP honors while the veteran enjoyed quite the resurgence following his down year in 2018 with the New Orleans Saints.

Edwards currently has a hold as the complementary option to Ingram in the Ravens' backfield. However, this could change if Dobbins is able to make a solid impression on Roman and the rest of the coaching staff. Unfortunately, the restrictions placed in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may very well leave the rookie at a disadvantage early on in training camp.
