Once considered a candidate for the starting right guard position, Ben Cleveland has struggled to find playing time this season, having lost the job to Daniel Faalele. With only five offensive snaps in the regular season, Cleveland has found a surprising role on special teams, recently blocking his first career field goal against the Washington Commanders. His teammates, including center Tyler Linderbaum, have expressed admiration for his ability to contribute in this unconventional way. After the game, Cleveland received a game ball from head coach John Harbaugh, highlighting his impact despite not being a household name.
