It was no secret that the Baltimore Ravens were looking to upgrade their receiving corps this offseason, specifically at wide receiver. It may have taken until their fourth pick (their third of the evening), but the Ravens selected Texas WR Devin Duvernay with the 92nd pick of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Probably not a name on many fans’ shopping lists this draft, Duvernay nevertheless looks to be a reliable target who plays mainly in the slot, someone who features solid hands (maybe Baltimore brass has learned from the Perriman debacle), plus the ability to kick on afterburner speed when in the open field.
To get a better idea of what Duvernay can do at his best, take a look at his highlight reel from Texas.
Duvernay finished his college career with 2,468 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns.
While you can consider the Ravens’ in the upper tier of teams when it comes to drafting prowess, picking quality wide receiver hasn’t been their forte. But when you take a look at Duvernay’s highlights and pair his ability with the names of Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Marquise Boykin, two receivers taken in the 2019 Draft, suddenly the Ravens appear to be building a formidable stable of young receiving talent.
