Worst player on each NFL team 2015

#6. Baltimore Ravens: James Hurst

PFF grade (position rank): -37.6 (75th)
2015 salary cap hit: $513,000

James Hurst somehow found himself as Baltimore’s starting left tackle last season after injuries forced some re-shuffling, a move that confounded ESPN’s Ravens beat writer Jamison Hensley. The reporter’s instincts proved to be right.

Hurst ranked ahead of just one tackle among 76 qualifying players in Pro Football Focus’ grades this year, virtually replicating the grade of -35.7 he received last season. The former undrafted free agent gave up at least three QB hurries in five separate games in 2015.

The most damaging play Hurst was involved in? Late in their contest against the Rams, Hurst was bowled over backwards by rookie defensive end Matt Longacre. Hurst fell backwards into Joe Flacco’s leg, tearing the ACL inside his quarterback’s knee and effectively curtailing Baltimore’s hopes for playoff football. Ironically, that was the game in which Hurst received his highest grade of the season from PFF.
