As we talked about back in August, former Georgia linebacker was impressing the Ravens staff and linebacker corp, especially since they signed him as a an undrafted free agent (he ended up being the only rookie free agent the Ravens signed).
On Sunday in his third start against the Raiders, Ellerbe got his first career interception just before halftime, and it resulted in a TD by Willis McGahee.
Ellerbe then recovered a fumble in Ravens territory.
Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said Ellerbe's performance was amazing and the difference in the game.
In a lockeroom interview for Sportscenter on ESPN, Ray Lewis also gave high praise to Ellerbe for his efforts.
This is fantastic for Ellerbe. It's always great to see a Dawg succeed, but it is especially sweet since Ellerbe was overlooked in the draft. Despite his history injuries, I was definitely surprised that he didn't at least get taken in one of the late rounds.
Good luck to Ellerbe and I hope his hard work continues to raise his status in the NFL.
DAMN GOOD DAWG.
