Undrafted free agents

[tsylvester]

My favorite time of year, sort of..... The Ravens always find a dimond or two- to fill out the roster. They have signed a few guys I watched play over the past fee seasons in college and think will make a big impact. I will high light them

Auburn DL Jayson Jones 6'-6" 355
Rutgers DB Desmond Igbinoson
Memphis LB Chandler Martin
Nebraska WR Jahmal Banks
Western Kentucky WR Kisean Johnson
Iowa LB Jay Higgins
Monmouth RB Sone Ntoh
Oregon State OL Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan
Albany OL Ozzie Hutchinson
Temple DE Diwun Black
Minnesota-Duluth TE Sam Pitz
Illinois State DB Keondre Jackson
South Carolina CB Marquise Robinson
Minnesota RB Marcus Major Jr.
Arizona State WR Xavier Guillory
Miami (OH) OT Reid Holskey
Nebraska DL Nash Hutmacher
Northern Iowa OL Jared Penning

Of all the guys on your list, the one I'd really like to see make the cut is Jones. A 6-6 355 defensive tackle is just what the doctor ordered. I hope he's talented enough to stick.

I think I heard the Rutgers cb is good.

He just needs a little kick in the pants from time to time. It is understandable to a point, he had always been able to just use his size to get by, now he needs strength, & coaching. He made it to the NFL, now does he want to stay?

Cody never understood that in this league, it doesn't matter how big you are, outside, it is how big you are on the inside.

Very good, there are a number of guys on this list I think have a real shot at making the 53

Well, I guess that's why he wound up as a UDFA---perhaps not motivated enough. Time will tell.

There have been a number of big men like Pierce, Madds, remember Jelly? All had the same need, a "kick in the pants" and look how they embraced it. So it is possible he will as well and how great he can be...

[oldno82]

We'll hope for the best but see how he performs in camp.

Nice article on Nash Hutmacher

Funny: Gerry Sanduskey on the Sports tonight talked about the irrelevance of rookie camp as to future success...said the the rookie who looked the worst in rookie camp to him of all time was Lamar Jackson---the best was Sergio Kindle.

It is not good for evaluating, but it can really open their eyes, help them see how they need help.

[oldno82]

Yeah I think it's mostly for orientation purposes rather than anything else.

It’s intros and start the learning process.
