When Devin Duvernay was commanding the slot role for the Texas Longhorns, he made a huge impact. During his senior season in 2019, Duvernay finished with the second-most receiving yards in a single season with 1,386 yards. He finished second to Jordan Shipley. Duv also finished as the No. 8 receiver in Texas history with 2,468 yards.
Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the now Baltimore Ravens pass catcher could have his biggest game of the year. This year for the Ravens, Duvernay has accounted for 242 yards from scrimmage this year in limited action. He has yet to score a touchdown on offense. However, after three of the receivers were placed on the COVID-19 reserve list, Duvernay is likely playing a prominent role in this game.
If all three players end up missing Sunday’s game, that would leave the Ravens with just four wide receivers available on the 53-man roster. Though that would mean guys like Dez Bryant and Devin Duvernay would have a more prominent role on the offense, it would give Baltimore next to no depth at the position. –Ravens Wire
Duvernay has provided some spark on special teams this year, including a touchdown return against the Kansas City Chiefs for his first career touchdown in the NFL.

This year, the rookie wide receiver has accounted for 781 all-purpose yards with 28.4 yards per return. It could be a breakout opportunity for Duvernay as he will be on the field with former teammate Collin Johnson for the first time since the 2019 Valero Alamo Bowl.
