Melvin Gordon. 26. player. 26. <p>Instead of slating Melvin Gordon to the Carolina Panthers, he will become the new face of the Baltimore Ravens offense.</p>
<p>After losing Ray Rice, the Ravens struck gold on the free-agent signing of Justin Forsett. Forsett ran for over 1,000 yards, earning a spot in this year’s Pro Bowl. He was the catalyst for the Ravens offense last season, gashing the defense for long runs, providing the team with instant offense.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Forsett is a free agent. While the Ravens have expressed interest in resigning Forsett, this was his first 1,000 yard campaign in six seasons in the NFL. There is no guarantee Forsett will duplicate his previous season.</p>
<p>I’m not opposed to resigning him. In fact, Baltimore should give a chance; however, if he doesn’t repeat his success, they will have another quality running back right behind him. And hey, if Forsett can repeat, then the Ravens would have one of the more talented running back tandems in the NFL.</p>
<p>Having a two-headed rushing attack is something Baltimore – much like any team – would cherish. It would also take an enormous amount of pressure off of Joe Flacco.</p>. Running Back. Wisconsin
