Three of the Ravens’ UDFAs with the best chance to secure a roster spot The Baltimore Ravens have a rich tradition of finding ‘diamonds in the rough.’ During the last 14 seasons Justice Hill Baltimore Ravens Jersey , at least one undrafted free agent has made the final 53-man roster. In previous years, several undrafted free agents have turned into stars, but due to how deep Baltimore’s roster is, an UDFA may not be able to crack the 53-man roster this season.RB Gus EdwardsThe leader in the ‘UDFA Clubhouse’ is Gus Edwards, but if Kenneth Dixon can prove that he can stay healthy, the third running back spot would not open. Given Dixon’s injury history, he will have a lot to prove in the final three preseason games, but it is his job to lose.Edwards has been impressive in the first two preseason games. He has rushed for 93 yards off of 22 attempts, while also recording one reception for 23 yards. Edwards has displayed great vision and patience as a runner Cheap Justice Hill Jersey , but he has struggled at times in pass protection, which could be the key for any running back to ‘dethrone’ Kenneth Dixon.On an inside zone play, Edwards exploded through the hole and made one tackler miss en route to gaining 25 yards. This was his longest run of the preseason. His physicality as a runner is the most enticing aspect of his game. However, it has been a mixed bag for Edwards in pass protection.Instead of running to the side, he should have picked up the unblocked linebacker running through the A-gap. This was poor awareness on his part, and almost every other quarterback would have been sacked on this play. If not for Jackson’s athletic ability, this would have been a significant loss on first down. Edwards redeemed himself in pass-protection on this play. He displayed solid awareness as he quickly identified the edge rusher and picked him up to allow Jackson to throw the ball. Plays like this will be critical for Edwards to earn a roster spot.RB Mark ThompsonThompson is behind Edwards on the depth chart, but he still has an outside chance to make the roster. He has displayed great patience, physicality Justice Hill Baltimore Ravens Jersey , and instincts as a runner. Thompson has also showcased the ability to make an impact in the passing game. He has 23 rushing yards off of 11 attempts, while also adding four receptions for 39 yards.On a screen play, Thompson made three tacklers miss en route to picking up 29 yards. His ability to put his head down and gain extra yards is enticing. Javorius Allen is the primary pass-catching running back, but Thompson could carve out a role if he makes the team in this area as well. He has to show more as a runner if he wants to beat out Edwards and Dixon, but with three more preseason games, Thompson will likely have plenty of opportunities to do so.WR/KR Janarion GrantGrant had a golden opportunity against the Rams to gain ground on Tim White, and he did not fully capitalize on the situation. Grant had one kick return for 26 yards and two punt returns for zero yards. As a receiver, he had two catches for 32 yards, which was a step in the right direction. However Hayden Hurst Jersey 2019 , the Ravens do not need help at the wide receiver position, Grant’s path to the roster is simple: win the returner competition. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh perfectly explained Grant’s issues and what he needs to improve upon. “I thought he did well. One return he took it outside when he should’ve just gotten north. He’s done that twice now. But the other two returns he got them upfield and did very well – made some people miss, caught the ball well. Seemed like he did well,” Harbaugh stated, via the team’s official website. Grant tried to do too much on this return. He should have just went ‘north’ instead of trying to reverse fields and make a huge play.This play was called back due to a holding penalty, but Grant displayed the ability to make a couple of tacklers miss while only running ‘north and south.’ Instead of dancing around, he made the first defender miss and immediately went upfield. With Tim White back on the field, Grant will have to make the most of limited opportunities as a returner, but he has the natural ability. The Baltimore Ravens posted a huge win on Sunday White Hayden Hurst Jersey , grinding out an intense 24-21 victory over the division rival Cincinnati Bengals in what was essentially a do-or-die matchup for a floundering..."The Ravens quarterback situation had obviously been in-flux over the past week, similar to how the running back spot was questionable all year. Alex Collins and Javorius Allen have had their moments but a combo of dips in form and poor run blocking have led them to both be pretty disappointing, especially in recent weeks.Both of these issues partially led to Baltimore’s three-game skid, and in an attempt to curb them, the Ravens turned to Jackson and Gus Edwards. Put simply, they answered the bell.Jackson wasn’t perfect, but he made plays when they were needed and kept Baltimore’s offense on the move. More importantly, just the presence of a playmaker at quarterback seemed to put a spark into the offense; Jackson escaped a few sure-fire sacks, kept his eyes downfield and the receivers did the rest.He obliterated the Ravens QB rushing record with his 117 ground yards Justin Tucker Jersey 2019 , two more than fellow rookie Edwards’ 115. The tailback had been having a very quiet season and was seen as a cut candidate following the addition of Ty Montgomery, but after the big time effort on the ground (he also added a touchdown and a 2-point conversion) the coaching staff may continue to look to him going forward.Best of the restMitch Stringer-USA TODAY SportsThe top two guys mainly held onto the spotlight for the day, but the rest of the rookies made some contributions here and there. Orlando Brown Jr. was again solid at right tackle (he led the way on Edwards touchdown run) and is looking like a third-round steal.Another potential third-round steal is Mark Andrews, who’s exceeded expectations at tight end and chipped in a big-time 19-yard reception on a critical play. His presence has been huge as Hayden Hurst continues to acclimate following his injury to start the year.The kids came up big today in what was an important win, and the Ravens will need more of that going forward. Here’s hoping that takes place as each game moving ahead is going to be increasingly important.
