Most have known that Malaki Starks would be special since they watched him play for the Georgia Bulldogs. No one knew that he'd join the Baltimore Ravens. The chances of that seemed slim as he climbed both the draft boards and opinion polls. The resume seemed like that of a top ten to 15 prospect.
Starks won Freshman All-American honors and a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2022. He was named a First-Team All-SEC star and a Consensus All-American in 2023 before adding his second First-Team All-SEC honor in 2024 to stack next to a First-Team All-American mention.
How he fell to the Ravens at the 27th overall selection of the 2025 NFL Draft is beyond us. We're glad he's here, though. By the looks of things, he will fit right in with the flock.
After winning the MVP trophy and leading his team to the AFC Championship Game during the 2023-24 season, Lamar Jackson watched those honors bestowed on Josh Allen last January and February. It was Allen who heard his name called at the NFL honors. The congratulatory handshake between Lamar and Josh in the Divisional Round was one to wish the Buffalo Bills star well on his journey to the most recent AFC Championship Game.
Starks isn't having it. He's made his stance known. To paraphrase, he has a most-wanted list. It appears Allen is public enemy number one.
There's no dancing around the issue there. Again, Starks is going to fit in just fine. He'll be part of Zachary Orr's defensive unit, ranked among the NFL's top ten last season.
Solving the Josh Allen riddle will be among the top tasks. Though the Ravens have bested him and his Bills in three of four regular-season head-to-head meetings, Allen and company are 2-0 vs. Lamar Jackson and company when it matters the most in the postseason.
That has to change, and it must change quickly, because the chances are high that the Ravens and Bills will meet again in January.
