The defensive back was selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the 27th choice at the end of last month, which there were two seasons was in the AFC championship. Last season, they were so close to recovering.

Maybe Starks can feel additional pressure, however, given the expectations of his team. However, being a bulldog, which is already instilled in it.

They were right next to their first Natty forever, then coming and filling these shoes, this is the norm that organization A and directs their business,” he said. “I am delighted to come to this organization and learn from many older guys and what it means to play like a crow.”
