Lardarius Webb Statistics

    • Games Played/Started: (2009, 9/0)
    • Lardarius Webb was selected in the 3rd round (88th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft
    • “In Lardarius Webb, we got a young man that can help us on the defensive side of the ball and also help us with special teams because, he’s also a returner,” said general manager/executive vice president Ozzie Newsome. “You get a player like that that has the versatility that he has, you can see so many roles that he can play in, and a guy that has the potential to be both a safety and a corner. When John [Harbaugh] and the coaches are putting together their 45-man squad, to have someone with that type of flexibility makes their job very easy.”
