The Baltimore Ravens have either signed or agreed to terms with all 10 of the 2020 NFL Draft picks. The Ravens announced they had agreed to terms with first-round pick Patrick Queen earlier in the day only to follow it up with the announcement they have done the same with third-round pick Devin Duvernay.
While both Queen and Duvernay still need to sign on the dotted line, Baltimore has to feel good about getting all their rookies under contract before the full team reports to training camp on July 28. That will allow the Ravens’ rookies the maximum amount of time to get used to the speed of the game, learn the playbook, and get in-person instruction from the coaching staff for the first time since being selected in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, in-person minicamps were cancelled this offseason. Instead, meetings went virtual over Zoom video conference calls and players were encouraged to work out on their own from home. While plenty of players put in serious work this offseason, it’ll be nice to have everyone at the Under Armour Performance Center under the close eye of coach John Harbaugh and his staff as the Ravens prepare for a 2020 regular season that has Super Bowl aspirations and expectations.
Duvernay is expected to play a pivotal role in Baltimore’s offense. While he had his most success in the slot, Duvernay has the physical skills to play both inside and outside for the Ravens. He’s fast, has strong hands, and is physical with the ball in his hands, giving Baltimore yet another weapon for MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson and earning rave reviews from backup quarterback Robert Griffin III.
