Quarterback Lamar Jackson expressed excitement over the newest addition to the Baltimore Ravens’ passing game.
“It’s tremendous,” Jackson said before Wednesday’s practice. “We just got to see what he’s capable of. We’ll go from there.”
If Bryant is elevated to the active roster, he’ll become the most experienced target in the NFL’s 31st-ranked passing game. Bryant is 31, and no Ravens wide receiver on the 53-man roster is older than 27. Bryant’s 73 career touchdowns are 44 more than Baltimore’s current wide receiver group has totaled in their careers (29).
Ravens defensive back Jimmy Smith called Bryant an “X factor” and compared him to former Baltimore wide receiver Anquan Boldin in the way he can catch contested passes.
