The Baltimore Ravens made it a priority to draft a speedy receiver that would provide another weapon in the passing game alongside Marquise Brown.
They got that and more with Texas wide receiver Devin Duvernay. The Ravens selected the new security blanket for quarterback Lamar Jackson in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Judging by his reaction, Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh knew just how big of a steal it was to land Duvernay with the No. 92 overall pick.

His passion and work ethic is unmatched. Although he’s known for his speedy, strong-handed style of play, his consistency may be one of his most impressive traits.
Duvernay never missed a single game throughout his four-year collegiate career. When you watch his tape, you most likely won’t recall him ever dropping a pass. According to Pro Football Focus, he has the lowest dropped pass percentage of any power-five receiver since 2018.
He will make an immediate impact in Baltimore. In terms of where he was drafted, Duvernay may turn out to be the best value pick of the entire draft.
It’s something to be fired up about.
