Mauldin has a high football IQ and he makes overlooked contributions in covering the flat and getting his hands in passing lanes. He has a fast motor and doesn’t give up. I hear Mauldin has a great work ethic and I like him as a system fit for the Ravens, though he is not as good an athlete as some other prospects who might have higher ceilings.
