The Ravens made two new additions to their defensive line on Tuesday, announcing the signings of Deadrin Senat and Josh Tupou to their offseason roster. With these moves, the Ravens now have 91 players, as edge rusher David Ojabo’s status as an international player exempts him from the 90-man limit.
Senat, who previously played 15 games for the Bucs and 22 games with the Falcons, brings experience with 18 tackles and a sack during his time with Tampa. Tupou, on the other hand, has appeared in 65 games and made 23 starts for the Bengals over the last six years, tallying 86 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble with Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. exudes confidence in his abilities. Despite starting his rookie season as a reserve, Porter quickly rose to become a starter in the seventh game and maintained that position throughout the season. Notably, he often found himself matched up against the opposing team’s top receiver, fueling his belief that he’s the best cornerback in the league.
Acknowledging the talent of other defensive backs in the league, Porter asserts his distinction by highlighting his consistent performance against top receivers throughout the season. Although he finished fifth in voting for defensive rookie of the year, Porter has dedicated himself to getting stronger for his second season, aiming to improve his performance and garner more recognition in the future.
