The Ravens’ rookie class reports for training camp today and there is work to be done.
The class made a strong impression during Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and minicamp, and the intensity will increase in training camp.
Here are five things this rookie class needs to prove:
1) Offensive players show they’re not afraid of contact
It’s easier for wide receivers such as first rounder Breshad Perriman or sixth rounder Darren Waller to look good when there’s no threat of getting whacked by a defender. Same goes for rookie running back Javorius “Buck” Allen when he’s trying to break through the defensive line and tight ends Maxx Williams and Nick Boyle when they’re trying to work the middle of the field.
