Mark Ingram got paid 3yr/$15m by the Ravens. He went for 1,018 yards at 5.0 YPC.
Gus Edwards was undrafted by the Ravens. He went for 711 yards at 5.3 YPC.
The Ravens had a good scheme and blockers. They didn't need to pay Ingram any money when Gus Edwards was an undrafted player in 2018 and also managed to have a successful season at 5.3 YPC.
In fact, Gus Edwards last year ran for 718 yards at 5.2 YPC as a rookie UDFA.
In 2017, 5th rounder Alex Collins ran for 973 yards at 4.6 YPC after being a Practice Squad signing.
In 2016, Terrence West on his 3rd team in 3 years produced 774 yards at 4.0 YPC after also being a Practice Squad signing.
In '14 and '15, journeyman Justin Forsett ran for 1,907 yards at 4.9 YPC, and he was originally a 7th round pick.
The Ravens have just thrown together random RBs and had a successful running game with 5 different primary running backs the last 6 years.
