Baltimore Beatdown
The speedy WR could be in line for more playing time
The Ravens have an embarrassment of riches on the offensive side of the ball. The main contributors should be easy to guess, from quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry to wide receivers Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins, as well as tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
With so many star players in the lineup already, it will be hard for anyone else to find meaningful playing time, barring injuries. Still, there are a few candidates who could take a significant leap in their quality of play on the field this year, even if in a smaller role.
Today’s Question of the Day is:
My answer: Devontez Walker
While I previously picked third-year running back Keaton Mitchell as my candidate for the biggest increased role in Baltimore’s offense, I believe that it is Walker who will show the most growth from last season.
Walker, a fourth-round pick out of North Carolina, barely saw the field with the Ravens’ offense in 2024. Walker’s lone reception for the season went for 21 yards and a touchdown. While it will be difficult for Walker to become a staple of Baltimore’s passing attack with the players currently ahead of him in the lineup, he can still make the most of his opportunities and carve out a nice role.
By all reports, the deep-threat receiver is off to the right start so far in training camp ahead of his second season.
If Walker can become a big-play deep threat, even if only occasionally, then defenses will have to respect yet another factor of the Ravens’ dominant offense.
