The Ravens rookies are scheduled to report for training camp on Tuesday, July 19. Then the clock starts. Then the journey through the professional ranks begins, their lives forever changed. Twenty-seven world-class athletes will participate in their first professional training camp — 11 draft picks and 16 undrafted free agents.
All have been among the best from their times in rec ball to those days on a college football field. These athletes will compete for very limited spots. The struggle will be real. It is more intense than ever before and perhaps for the first time in their lives, the threat of failure stares these athletes in the face.
