OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Ryan Mallett came to the Baltimore Ravens as a discarded quarterback known for his immature behavior. Nearly eight months later, Mallett is the likely starter for the Ravens in Thursday's preseason opener with a new image and the support of an organization.
The Ravens feel their second-string quarterback has made the most of his second chance.
"Ryan has been nothing but a pro," coach John Harbaugh said. "He's been a hard worker. Players like him. He's charismatic. He knows the game. He has talent; there's no question he can throw the football and he can move around.
