QB Jordan Ta’amu

The Ravens are set at starting quarterback, with Lamar Jackson’s 2019 deeds earning him an MVP award. Behind him, the Ravens have Robert Griffin and Trace McSorley but there’s a case to be made for Baltimore being interested in Ta’amu as well.

Playing for the St. Louis Battlehawks, Ta’amu was an adequate passer. He finished third in the XFL with 1,050 passing yards while pacing the league with a 72.4% completion percentage. But it was what he did with his legs that may make teams like Baltimore sit up and take notice. Ta’amu was seventh in the league with 217 rushing yards. That’s seventh across all positions.

A mobile quarterback who is an efficient passer of the ball sounds like the type of player that the Ravens might like to get a closer look at in 2020.

There’s also no guarantee Baltimore keeps Griffin and McSorley at this point either. With Griffin earning some trade inquiries, the Ravens might decide to send their backup quarterback packing for some more ammunition in the 2020 NFL Draft. In that case, Baltimore would have a perfect opening for a guy like Ta’amu on their roster, even if just for training camp.
