Kamar Aiken was a good soldier for the Ravens, not a diva, in 2016.
He certainly had reason to grouse and grumble if he so chose. After leading the team with 75 catches the year before, Aiken found himself on the outer fringes of the offense, playing more on special teams than when the Ravens had the ball. He told an interviewer earlier this week that he felt like a forgotten man.
But while everyone knew he was discouraged, he didn’t flap his wings or jaws and complain out loud, creating a distraction. He kept his head down and did whatever was asked of him.
