STM Take

Super Bowl LVI appearance plus 2022 tier 1 (#7) STTM peak puts Awuzie in the rare championship-pedigree CB class with structural elite ceiling. The 42-spot regression from tier 3 (#20) in 2024 to tier 8 (#62) in 2025 with Baltimore confirms the structural late-career decline plus the change-of-scenery context. The 2026 question is whether Awuzie returns to tier 5-6 territory or whether the structural late-career decline closes the chapter.

Awuzie came out of Colorado as the Dallas Cowboys' 2nd-round pick (60th overall) in 2017 and has bounced through the Cowboys, Bengals, Titans, and now Ravens across nine NFL seasons. He played in Super Bowl LVI with the Bengals and delivered a tier 1 (#7) STTM peak in 2022. His STTM career runs tier 6 (#44) in 2021, tier 1 (#7) peak in 2022, tier 8 (#82) in 2023, tier 3 (#20) in 2024, and tier 8 (#62) in 2025.

Strengths

Super Bowl LVI appearance plus 2022 tier 1 (#7) STTM peak plus the 60th overall draft pedigree establishes structural elite CB career résumé.
Colorado Pac-12 2nd-round origin plus nine years of NFL development gives him real veteran market value.

Concerns

Career STTM volatility (tier 6 in 2021, tier 1 in 2022, tier 8 in 2023, tier 3 in 2024, tier 8 in 2025) confirms the ceiling is highly team-fit and scheme dependent.
Baltimore's broader defensive identity around the Roquan Smith primary anchor role compresses Awuzie's structural snap share.

What to watch: Whether Awuzie returns to tier 5 or better in 2026 with the Ravens, the threshold for confirming the late-prime ceiling holds.
