The decision to sign to the Baltimore Ravens’ active roster over sticking with the New England Patriots’ practice squad earlier this week was an easy one for undrafted rookie Malik Cunningham to make.
It wasn’t because the Ravens have the best record in the AFC at 10-3 and are the favorite to secure the No. 1 seed, while his old team is 3-10 and already eliminated from playoff contention. After the Ravens told him that their plan was to develop him as a quarterback and not a wide receiver hybrid, which the Patriots were using him as, he was sold right then and there.
