Ravens defensive backs may benefit from upcoming joint-practice vs. Packers

With Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love ranked No. 2 in the NFL pass TD’s last year, joint practice may benefit the Baltimore Ravens DB’s.

Did you know Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love ranked No. 2 in pass touchdowns and No. 7 in passing yards last season? Perhaps the Baltimore Ravens will benefit by having their defensive backs run practice reps in Wisconsin next month.

Keep a close eye on rookie defensive backs Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa in the upcoming joint practice with the Packers. The Packers’ wide receiving core includes Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks, targets shown to be serviceable in head coach Matt LaFleur’s offense.

With the addition of running back Josh Jacobs, the Packers will be the perfect offense for the Ravens to test their defense versus play-action

Ravens inside linebacker Roquan Smith will be responsible for familiarizing the rookies with pre-snap identifiers and playcalling. With new intricacies to be introduced in defensive coordinator Zach Orr’s playbook, the rookies must prepare by studying film and getting many practice reps.

The Ravens will get back to it when training camp begins Jul. 20. Orr knows that with the departure of a few key players on defense, the world will be watching to see how the team reinvigorates. 

Ravens sign CB Nate Wiggins to rookie deal

Baltimore Ravens sign Nate Wiggins to rookie deal

The Ravens are always solid about contracts and integrating rookies into their system and the 2024 class draft class is no different.

Just hours before the start of rookie minicamp, Baltimore got four players under contract, including No. 30 overall pick Nate Wiggins and second-round pick Roger Rosengarten.

According to the NFL, Wiggins was the first player from this year’s draft to sign a contract.

The Ravens needed cornerback depth despite having Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Stephens returning on the outside, while Arthur Maulet and Ar’Darius Washington will compete for reps in the slot.

Wiggins, at 6 feet 2 inches, has good speed and excellent size for the position.

He plays with tremendous confidence and athleticism in coverage.
