Michael Campanaro

I look at Michael Campanaro as a Julian Edelman kind of receiver. One where you can use him different ways on the offense. He’s an option in the slot as well on short bubble screen plays. The Ravens also utilized him a couple times on the jet sweep and that worked very well. Not to mention, he is also a threat in the punt/kick return game. After the disaster that was Devin Hester last season, there needs to be more consistency in the return game.

The big thing for Campanaro is going to be his health. That is what has kept him off the field the last few seasons. Depth is an issue and the Ravens cannot afford to be losing receivers for long periods of time this season. It is something to watch out for, but I like his potential on the roster this season.
