4. Keenan Reynolds:

I keep telling you that Reynolds just needs to get the ball in his hands and good things will happen. Reynolds got a huge chance to make a play on special teams. He returned a punt for 46 yards. It was a beautiful return. He grabbed the ball on a line drive to him, he made a cut and he made a beautiful run up the field. If he could have just eluded one more player, he could have gone all the way.

It was the first time Ravens fans have seen Reynolds do much of anything on the field, in a game. Last preseason he struggled to get anything going. Not only did he have a huge return, but said return set up a touchdown. Reynolds also made an impact as a gunner on punt team. Reynolds showed what he could do. Sometimes it’s not about having big numbers, it’s about making the most of your chances.

The next step for Reynolds is making a splash as a wide receiver. This was surely a step in the right direction. Reynolds is a player that everyone in the organization wants to be successful. Reynolds showed that he could make the big return. If he keeps doing it, the Ravens will have a harder time keeping him off the 53 man roster.
