Baltimore Beatdown
The Baltimore Ravens signed former first-round guard Kenyon Green to their practice squad Tuesday morning after he worked out for the team last Friday.
Green is a 24-year-old guard out of Texas A&M where he played multiple positions across his two years there, starting all of his college games. He was drafted in 2022 by the Houston Texans, where he started in 23 games in 2022 and 2024 while missing all of the 2023 season due to a shoulder injury. He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason, but he failed to make their 53-man roster. He was retained on the practice squad and was shuffled between the PS and the active roster over the first few weeks of the year.
The Ravens now add him to their own practice squad in hopes of finding the talent that made him a first-round pick. So far, it hasn’t been there as he’s been one of the lowest-rated guards in the NFL by PFF during his time. He’s had a sub-40.0 overall grade in both his seasons of play. During his time at Texas A&M, Green was lauded for his run blocking and the power he played with, known for moving bodies easily. He played both guard and tackle spots in college but was thought to be a surefire guard prospect coming out despite known issues about his pass blocking. In the NFL, he has only lined up as a left guard.
Given his career performance, Green will not compete for any game day role right away, despite a persisting desire from Baltimore’s fanbase to make a change at guard.
