The Baltimore Ravens are moving paperwork this week, adding another six undrafted free agents to their 90-man roster, according to a press release from the team. These deals come at the same time the Ravens have signed the first of their 10 2020 NFL Draft picks, defensive tackle Broderick Washington Jr.
With the signing of six more UDFAs, it brings their total to 11 signed thus far. Baltimore had been linked to 18 prospects in our UDFA tracker, though with the coronavirus pandemic making getting physicals tougher, deals are slower to come through than in previous years.
Take a look at the six newest Ravens:
CB Khalil Dorsey, Northern Arizona
You can never have too many cornerbacks — At least that’s what former general manager Ozzie Newsome once said. Dorsey was productive at Northern Arizona, starting 40 games and notching 197 combined tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, one sack, eight interceptions and 41 passes defensed. More impressively, Dorsey blocked two kicks, which could be his ticket on the 53-man roster.
CB Josh Nurse, Utah
Like Dorsey, Nurse enters a pretty deep cornerback group in Baltimore. Nurse hasn’t started many games, winning the starting job for 10 games in 2019, playing mostly on special teams before that.
WR Jaylon Moore, Tennessee-Martin
As a small-school prospect, Moore could easily be overlooked. But he was productive, starting 25-of-39 games and catching 92 passes for 1,492 yards and 18 receiving touchdowns. At 5-foot-11 and 191 pounds, Moore is more primed for the slot than as an outside receiver, though he also returned three kickoffs in 2019 and could factor in that competition with the Ravens.
S Nigel Warrior, Tennessee
We identified safety as one of the positions Baltimore had to pay attention to for the future. Though the starting lineup is cemented in place, there’s not a ton of depth at either free safety or strong safety. The Ravens did take Geno Stone in the 2020 NFL Draft but Warrior could earn a roster spot with great play on special teams and work his way up the roster over time.
OLB Marcus Willoughby, Elon
Pass rushers are perhaps the second-most coveted position in the NFL, right behind the quarterback they’re trying to bring down. Since the Ravens didn’t address the position in the 2020 NFL Draft, Willoughby will have a legitimate chance to make the 53-man roster with a good showing in training camp and the preseason.
Willoughby posted 224 combined tackles, 31 tackles for a loss, and 16.5 sacks over four years with Elon.
TE Eli Wolfe, Georgia
With the trade of Hayden Hurst, Baltimore has two top tight ends but will be searching for a third to provide depth. Wolfe will compete with Charles Scarff for that final spot.
