The former fourth overall pick officially signed his one-year contract last Friday after passing his physical. On Tuesday in his introductory press conference, he listed several reasons why he decided to come to Charm City.

Once I took my visit I knew I fit in with the Baltimore Ravens, just the vibes and energy and coaches was amazing.
