Ravens, Shaun Wade (Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images)
The Baltimore Ravens made the surprising decision to trade rookie cornerback Shaun Wade to the New England Patriots on Thursday. They did so, in part, due to their confidence in their other young defensive backs.
And one player who has a real chance to shine in the absence of Wade is undrafted rookie Ar’Darius Washington.
Washington was the most high-profile undrafted signing the Ravens made shortly following the 2021 NFL Draft. Seen as an early Day 3 prospect by most, Washington surprisingly went undrafted, likely due to his small stature.
