Every team in the NFL wants tough players with a hardnosed mindset on their roster especially on defense. However, it takes a certain type of player to truly embody what it means to “Play like a Raven.”
More than a motto or mantra plastered throughout M&T Bank Stadium and the Under Amour Performance Center a.k.a The Castle, it is a mentality coaches, scouts and executives look for in every draft pick, free agent signing and trade. Playing like a Ravens means giving maximum effort on every play in a game and rep in practice, not just not taking a play or a rep off but hungering for more work, doing the dirty work that doesn’t always get recognized and coming up with clutch plays when they are needed.
