Ali ruptured his bicep at the senior bowl this previous season. He participated in various individual drills at rookie mini camp and could be ready to participate in OTAs in the coming months. Ali currently slots behind starter Derrick Henry, Keaton Mitchell, and Justice Hill on the Ravens’ depth chart, but could work his way up the ranks with a strong summer.

Ali (5’11/206) broke out in his second year on campus with 250 carries, 1,401 yards, and an absurd 23 touchdowns. He added 45 catches for 334 yards and a touchdown through the air. Ali missed most of his junior season which went down as a medical redshirt year. He returned in 2023 for another 210 carries, 1,125 yards, and 15 scores. Ali’s best numbers, both efficiency and volume-wise, came all the way back in 2021. This was undoubtedly a red flag for teams during the draft process. He is also recovering from a torn bicep suffered at the Senior Bowl, though he should be ready well before training camp. Ali is a one-cut runner with good burst but lacks the top-end speed to blow by defenders at the next level. His usage as a pass-catcher should help him hold onto a backup role in the NFL.
