Ravens waive FB Bronson Rechsteiner — son of wrestling legend

The Baltimore Ravens waived FB Bronson Rechsteiner after signing him as a UDFA out of Kennesaw State this offseason.

The Baltimore Ravens announced via Twitter they’ve waived undrafted free agent fullback Bronson Rechsteiner. The Ravens signed Rechsteiner out of Kennesaw state this offseason after he failed to get selected in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Rechsteiner was a long shot to make the Ravens’ final 53-man roster. While Baltimore is one of the few teams remaining in the NFL to still actively use a dedicated fullback in their offense, they already have one of the league’s best in Patrick Ricard — who pulls triple duty on defense and special teams as well.

Still, Baltimore has typically liked keeping around some running back options on the practice squad, pulling Alex Collins and Gus Edwards from it in recent years. It was hoped Rechsteiner would be able to show some talent during training camp, earning a practice squad spot and sticking around with the Ravens for a little while.

Rechsteiner had a successful 2019 campaign at Kennesaw State. He rushed for 909 yards and seven touchdowns on 121 carries, adding another 101 receiving yards on eight catches.

Rechsteiner has a well-known family, at least in the professional wrestling community. Rechsteiner is the son and nephew of wrestling legends Rick and Scott Steiner, who both performed for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) at times throughout their careers.

Ravens sign 2 more UDFAs after 2020 NFL Draft

The Baltimore Ravens added to their UDFA class, signing KSU FB Bronson Rechsteiner and Redlands CB Jeff Hector.

The Baltimore Ravens are steadily adding to their UDFA class. After signing three players at the end of the week, Baltimore added two more to the mix, according to a press release.

  • CB Jeff Hector, Redlands
  • FB Bronson Rechsteiner, Kennesaw State

When added to their 10-pick haul in the 2020 NFL Draft, that means 15 rookies are currently on the roster and will be fighting for roster spots this offseason. Though the Ravens have been linked to at least 18 UDFA players following the 2020 NFL Draft, they’ve only officially signed five thus far. With the coronavirus pandemic making getting physicals a little more difficult than in previous years, the UDFA process is clearly being slowed down as a result.

Hector started 11 games over two years at Redlands, notching eight interceptions, returning three for touchdowns. He also had 14 passes defensed, 47 combined tackles and two sacks.

For those wrestling fans, the Rechsteiner name might bring back memories. Bronson is the son of Rick Rechsteiner and nephew of Scott Rechsteiner, who both wrestled in the WWF and WCW.

Rechsteiner’s path to the NFL might also sound familiar to Baltimore’s other fullback Patrick Ricard. After originally joining KSU as a linebacker in 2016, Rechsteiner moved to running back the next season. The Ravens love players with versatility and having some potential to play both sides of the ball could see Rechsteiner on the short list to make the team.

Rechsteiner carried the ball 244 times for 1,496 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, adding another 12 receptions for 189 yards.
