Teammates and coaches have raved about his sharp change of direction, which has caused plenty of separation this offseason. The Ravens have drafted six wide receivers in the first round in their history, but none has shown this type of route-running as a rookie. How he has fared so far: Flowers has been impressive with his ability to consistently get open. 2023 NFL rookie updates: Notes on 31 first-round draft picks Jamison Hensley, ESPN He’ll have to remain healthy this summer, which has been a struggle, but his roster chances shouldn’t be dismissed. He profiles as a nickel cornerback, and that’s an area where the Ravens have a need. Washington, who had a solid career as a safety at TCU but went undrafted because of concerns about his size (5-foot-8, 176 pounds), seemingly has a knack for being around the football. Aumavae-Laulu won’t enter training camp as the favorite to start at left guard, but he showed enough promise over the past month to at least be in the conversation.Īr’Darius Washington, DB: With several of the young defensive backs dealing with injuries, Washington is getting a long look - and the coaching staff has to be reasonably pleased with what they’ve seen. He also has solid athleticism for a 6-foot-6, 322-pound guard. Aumavae-Laulu brings a physical and no-nonsense style that appeals to the Ravens’ coaching staff.
That would have been much easier to dismiss as coach speak had the sixth-round rookie out of Oregon not spent the week getting first-team reps. Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, G/T: After the final practice of mandatory minicamp, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Aumavae-Laulu is in the mix for the starting left guard spot.

Jeff Zrebiec, The Athletic If they can prove themselves as run blockers, they’ll open doors in training camp - more snaps for Kolar, and a possible roster spot for Vokolek. Vokolek, at 6 feet, 6 inches tall and 260 pounds, is a more plodding target, but he made the most of his opportunities. Kolar is 6 feet, 6 inches tall and 250 pounds, with some much-needed bulk added since last season, and was a reliable option over the middle. Tight ends Charlie Kolar and Travis Vokolek: Kolar, a fourth-round pick last year, and Vokolek, an undrafted rookie, stood out with their size throughout minicamp. Likely’s open-field wiggle should endear him to offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who found creative ways to get Georgia’s shifty playmakers in space over the past three years. More of an underneath option than a downfield threat in minicamp, the second-year tight end saw a lot of targets, especially with Mark Andrews’ workload limited. Tight end Isaiah Likely: Likely just gets open. He could push for a spot on the 53-man roster. Mitchell, a productive receiver at East Carolina, was comfortable catching passes out of the backfield and didn’t need long to reach top speed. Dobbins and Gus Edwards not participating in team drills, Hill showed his vision and cutback ability a few times on zone runs behind the first-team offensive line. Hill and Mitchell, a well-regarded undrafted rookie, did just that. Running backs Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell: There’s not a lot that running backs can do to stand out in OTA and minicamp practices besides catch the ball and run fast. 15 Ravens who stood out this offseason, from a veteran receiver to a rookie lineman Jonas Shaffer, The Baltimore Banner
