As most of the Ravens’ players and coaches trudged toward the locker room last Thursday afternoon following the final workout of mandatory minicamp, a group of young offensive linemen remained on the far field.
For about 15 more minutes, the offensive linemen were put through more drills with Juan Castillo providing hands-on coaching the entire time.
This won’t be a random occurrence this summer either. Castillo, the Ravens’ veteran offensive line coach, typically has his players on the field before the rest of the position groups and keeps the younger ones out there after the rest of the players have gone into the locker room.
