Ravens sign second-round pick David Ojabo to wrap 2022 draft class

The Ravens have finally wrapped up their draft class. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that Baltimore has inked linebacker David Ojabo to his rookie pact. Ojabo is the last 2022 draft pick to sign his rookie contract.

After sitting out his entire freshman year and collecting one tackle in six games during his sophomore campaign, the Michigan product had a breakout season in 2022. In 13 games, Ojabo compiled 35 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and 11 sacks. The linebacker suffered a torn Achilles during his pro day, but despite the injury, the Ravens still selected him in the second round (No. 45) of the 2022 draft.

Ojabo remained unsigned through the start of training camp, forcing him to stage a holdout as he pursued guaranteed money on the third year of his contract. It will be interesting to see who prevailed in that staredown, but Tuesday’s signing will allow the Ravens to proceed with other transactions. Since the linebacker is likely to be sidelined for most (if not all) of his rookie season, he’ll likely be placed on Baltimore’s non-football injury list in the coming days.

The Ravens now have their entire 2022 draft class under contract:

Round 1: No. 14 Kyle Hamilton, S (Notre Dame) (signed)
Round 1: No. 25 (from Bills) Tyler Linderbaum, C (Iowa) (signed)
