The Baltimore Ravens got a lot out of their young talent last year, featuring a few breakout stars. Which players could break out in 2020?

WR Miles Boykin

Boykin was a bit of a wildcard coming to Baltimore as another receiver taken by the team in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was a late riser in the draft process and thus selected in the third round by the Ravens, who liked his unique blend of size and speed.

Boykin is 6-foot-4 and weighs 220 pounds. He ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash and has over an 81-inch wingspan. While he dominated the preseason competition, the high hopes that everyone had for him didn’t translate into regular season play.

The former University of Notre Dame receiver finished his rookie campaign with just 13 receptions for 198 yards and three scores. It seemed like he and Lamar Jackson never got on the same page, and while he showed flashes, Boykin just couldn’t put it all together during his first year in the NFL.

However, there’s hope for Boykin. The Ravens clearly have confidence in him, as they didn’t sign a big name during free agency or select a “star” in the 2020 draft. Instead, Baltimore drafted players who can compliment him, not take away his snaps.

With Seth Roberts out of town and Boykin having the prototypical size and speed, he’s a player to keep an eye on in 2020.
