The Ravens (0-1) drafted the 340-pound Ngata with the 12th overall pick because they needed bulk in the middle of the defensive line. He's still got a lot to learn, and it's likely he will receive a few lessons from Philadelphia's Shawn Andrews.
"He's going against the best guard in football, so if he plays well against him that's going to be a great sign of things to come," Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan said. [/b]
All-Pro year for Big Shawn this season.
Pretty amazing that he has received attention like this after only 1 season of playing and being out of shape at that. I can't wait to see him play this season.
andrews is probably the best YOUNG guard in the nfl, yeah...you could also make a case for chris snee and kynan forney. but he's nowhere near guys like alan faneca, will shields, brian waters, steve hutchinson etc... not yet.
