Baltimore Ravens: 5 Most Memorable Draft Picks in Team History
The Ravens are not interested in winning the free agency Super Bowl. However, they will sign free agents on the open market to what Newsome calls “the right player at the right price.” You will rarely see the Ravens pay an Albert Haynesworth a $100M contract for example. They will sign a key addition like Vonta Leach in 2011.Newsome makes his money on draft day, where they draft...

Joe Flacco Contract Breakdown
Joe Flacco’s Wife Dana is a Shorty
Minnesota Vikings re-sign FB Jerome Felton
This was one of the really good signing of the days. Felton was an integral part in Adrian Peterson’s near record setting season and he is one of the best fullbacks in the game, ranking 5th at his position on ProFootballFocus. I was expecting him to exceed Vonta Leach’s 3 year, 11 million dollar contract from 2 off-seasons ago so credit the Vikings for locking him up for 7.5...
This Week In F–k You: NFL Reporters Dogging On Free Agency
Cautionary note on NFL free agency: “winners” in March rarely are winners in January/February.
— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) March 12, 2013
Every March, more reliable than the arrival of spring is the annual smug dismissal of the importance of free agency by a bevy of smarmy asswipe NFL reporters. Because everybody knows that if you write about football, you’re just one step...

5. Bernard Pollard
Signed off the scrap heap in 2009, Pollard came into the season in Houston and took matters into his...
The Texans Need More Edge
If you think about it, there are now only a handful of Texans’ players that could possibly fit the mold we are talking about, that bad guy, but in a good way. The player that plays with the reckless abandon and doesn’t care what the other team or his teammates think. The guy that might seem a little bit crazy on the football field, the one that gives an identity to a football...
Packers Need Upgrade At Fullback
Veteran fullback John Kuhn has never been a very physical lead blocker
It’s very easy to complain about the running backs and the offensive linemen when it comes to Green Bay’s often anemic ground game, but fullback John Kuhn shouldn’t be given a pass. After watching Baltimore’s Vonta Leach and San Francisco’s Bruce Miller steamroll would-be tacklers in the Super Bowl,...
Agent Says Ravens FB Vonta Leach Won't Need Any Offseason Surguries
The job description for Ravens Pro Bowl fullback Vonta Leach requires him to use his body like a battering ram to open up holes for Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice.
Leach is regarded as the most punishing lead blocker in the game, delivering big shots to linebackers and, once last season, upending unsuspecting Steelers nose guard Casey Hampton.
Leach did accumulate some injuries...
Former Packer Opened Eyes In Oakland
Defensive back Brandian Ross spent two training camps with the Packers
There’s no place for crying in baseball and there’s no place for sentimentality in pro football. General manager Ted Thompson should’ve learned that lesson seven years ago when he decided to hold onto 35-year old William Henderson at the expense of promising young fullback Vonta Leach. He obviously didn’t...

Ravens FB Leach on collision course to stardom
(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos. AP Video.) By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer Vonta Leach's job is to get involved in a collision so Ray Rice won't.
The Baltimore Ravens are in the Super Bowl in part because of Leach's ability to pave a path for Rice to follow. If that involves sticking his helmet into the chest of a 300-pound defensive lineman, then so be it.

Raiders’ Marcel Reece named to Pro Bowl
Raiders fullback Marcel Reece has been named to the Pro Bowl, replacing Ravens fullback Vonta Leach.
With the Ravens advancing to the Super Bowl, Leach will not participate in the Pro Bowl, which will take place on Sunday. I’m sure he’s devastated.
Reece rushed for 271 yards and had 496 receiving yards on 52 catches, fourth in the league among all running backs.
Reece was previously...

Vonta Leach is Probable
Fullback Vonta Leach is probable for the AFC Championship on Sunday against New England with knee and ankle problems.Fantasy Spin:Leach has no fantasy value himself, but his presence in the lineup makes the Ravens running game much better. If Leach can't go there would be a very slight reduction to the value of Ray Rice.
