The Ravens apparently have the confidence Rashod Bateman is ready to embrace the role as the team’s No 1 wide receiver.
Otherwise, they would’ve never traded Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals during the NFL draft.
Bateman is not backing down from the expectations surrounding him this season.
In fact, he’s embracing the challenge.
“I feel like Baltimore drafted me for a reason,” Bateman told cornerback Marlon Humphrey on ” Studio 44.” They drafted me to be in this position. For me, all I’ve been waiting on is the opportunity.
