James Ihedigbo, safety

<b>GS: 3 | GP: 16 | Snaps: 646</b><br>
<br>
<b>Season in review:</b> Ihedigbo was a late addition to the roster this summer, but he quickly became a key contributor on special teams. And when starting strong safety Bernard Pollard missed three games with a rib injury late in the regular season, Ihedigbo replaced him in the starting lineup and played pretty well.<br>
<br>
<b>Signature moment:</b> In the fourth quarter of a 13-10 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ihedigbo was not blocked as he blitzed from the safety spot and delivered a crushing hit to quarterback Byron Leftwich.<br>
<br>
<b>Stat that stands out:</b> five -- missed tackles on special teams by Ihedigbo, according to Pro Football Focus.<br>
<br>
<b>Pro Football Focus grade:</b> +0.2 overall as a defender | -3.5 overall on special teams.<br>
<br>
<b>Outlook for 2013 and beyond:</b> Like fellow safety Sean Considine, Ihedigbo was signed to a one-year deal before the 2012 season, so he will be a free agent. The Ravens would like to have Ihedigbo back in 2013.<br>
<br>
<b>Update:</b> Ihedigbo signed a one-year contract to stay with the Ravens on March 12.
