Ian Thomas remembers being in class and looking out the window of his high school, Digital Harbor, located just around the corner from M&T Bank Stadium.
The Ravens had just won Super Bowl XLVII, and the victory parade was going down the street.
“I knew then I wanted to be part of something like that,” Thomas said. “It was always a dream of mine to play for the Ravens.”
The big-bodied Indiana tight end has already lived the dream of so many kids in Baltimore. He’s beaten steep odds. Now, he wants to take it one step further and strap on the purple and black, and the Ravens have a need at tight end.
