Throughout his rookie season, Baltimore Ravens right tackle Roger Rosengarten developed into a very strong piece of the offensive line. From getting beat for a strip sack on his first NFL snap to shutting down some of the game's best pass rushers later on, his growth was incredibly impressive to witness.

Late in the season, though, he made a comment that one could interpret as a sign of low confidence.

During the regular season finale, Rosengarten shared a nice moment with Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett, asking, "I know I'm a nobody, but if I could get that jersey after?" Garrett was quick to shut down that kind of self talk.

"Hey, you're in the league. Y'all winning games. Y'all looking great. You ain't never a nobody. I got you," Garrett said, as shown on HBO's "Hard Knocks."

Rosengarten, the No. 62 overall pick in last year's draft out of Washington, finished the season with a 66.9 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, ranking 48th among 140 offensive tackles. It's a good start to his career, but of course, he knows he has a much higher ceiling than that.
