Ferris State defensive end Zach Sieler got that special call from Ozzie Newsome on Saturday. The Baltimore Ravens general manager called to tell Sieler he'd been selected by the NFL team with the 238th pick in the league's 83rd draft.
But Newsome's call to Sieler was a different than the other 11 calls the Baltimore general manager had made during this year's draft, including to Alabama cornerback Anthony Averett and center Bradley Bozeman.
After more than two decades in the Ravens' front office, Newsome is stepping down from his post now that he's gotten Baltimore through another draft.
