There has been a key figure in the Hawks defence this season whose impact has increased exponentially from last term. A player who is on course to almost triple his tackles, after taking himself from being a "decent player" to elite tier over the course of a single off-season. That player is Erasmo Broadway. It's hard to really determine how much of Broadway's improvement is down to the changes in environment in Baltimore -- new management, changes to the play scheme, improved supporting cast -- and how much is down to the player himself and his constant desire to improve.
With one game left this season, the Hawks linebacker needs just six more tackles to triple the thrity-nine he racked up throughout the entirety of last season. Some have suggested that with his off-field responsibilities reduced, the Notre Dame alumnus has been able to focus more on being the best backer he could be. Notably, Broadway's ability to read the game has improved significantly, presumably owing to the increased number of hours he has spent in the tape room, studying the opposition. From a relatively quiet figure on the league's worst team, to five team of the week appearances and a near-lock for the Pro Bowl a year later. If that's not worthy of being considered "most improved" ... what is?
