The Baltimore Ravens have had a busy 2025 offseason that has featured plenty of arrivals, departures, and questions about what comes next. Baltimore is looking to build on the last handful of seasons they've put together, including a great 2024 regular season that ended in playoff heartbreak to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round.
Among those who have left the Ravens for other opportunities is inside linebacker Malik Harrison, who chose to take his talents to the other side of Baltimore's biggest rivalry in the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a move that mirrors what another former Ravens linebacker did last offseason in Patrick Queen. When Harrison was asked about his role in stopping quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry, he made a strong statement.

Baltimore selected Harrison in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Ohio State. While he never became a mainstay on the Ravens' defense, he was a prominent member of Baltimore's special-teams unit, a role that he'll likely play in Pittsburgh alongside a potentially more significant role on the defensive side of the ball.
