The Ravens have been looking for a premier ball-hawk since safety Ed Reed departed.
Boise State free safety Darian Thompson emulates Reed, and his numbers suggest he has the potential to be an interceptions monster like the future Hall of Famer.
If Thompson where drafted by the Ravens – he’s expected to be taken in the second round – the well-rounded and rangy safety could help fill the void.
“That’s funny that you say that because I was going to say Ed Reed,” Thompson said. “[He’s] great with the ball skills, great tackler, great leader and somebody I model my game after.
