Dobbins was poised to have a breakout season in 2021 as the Ravens' top running back in a run-happy offense, but an ACL tear in the final preseason game caused him to miss the entire season.
Apparently, rehab is going very well. The 2020 second-round pick from Ohio State is adamant he'll be returning for Week 1 -- if you have doubts just check his resume, he says.
