C.J. Mosley / 100-tackle rookies

Ravens find another first-round star

Ray Lewis retired two years ago, but it didn't take the Ravens very long to find a star at inside linebacker to replace him. C.J. Mosley, their first-round pick a year ago, was an immediate starter and dominant tackler for Baltimore's defense.

Mosley racked up 133 total tackles last year, one of four 2014 rookies to clear 100 tackles. That's the 8th-highest total of any rookie this century. The seven players with more have gone on or are currently embarking on stellar careers.

The list of 100-tackle rookies since 2000 is presented below. with 2014 rookies in bold.
