Tavares Gooden Update

The way we hear it, Ravens rookie LB Tavares Gooden could play a major role on special teams in his first season as he learns the defense. Gooden has exceptional speed for the position, and he could be an asset on kick and punt coverage. In the long term, Gooden will compete for a starting spot at inside linebacker; both of Baltimore's starters (Ray Lewis and Bart Scott) are expected to enter free agency after the season.
