team. 26. If you follow Ebony Bird, you know how I feel about Keenan Reynolds. Reynolds is the feel good story, the Disney movie waiting to happen. He was a star for Navy. Now he goes to Annapolis to Baltimore. The catch is that he hasn’t proven himself as a wide receiver. The 46 yard punt return was a start. Now he better catch some passes before the storybook finish becomes just a fantasy.. . . Keenan Reynolds. 7

8. team. 26. Matthews is a lot like Adeboyejo. This actually helps the cause of Adeboyejo. At this point, Matthews is who he is. He’s a big bodied wide receiver whose talent has never amounted to what the flash plays he has made suggest. Adeboyejo is getting his first chance so there is a lot more optimism there. The Ravens need a big bodied receiver. It will either be Matthews or Adeboyejo that fill that need. Matthews has a lot more to prove than Adeboyejo who is banking on a bright future.. . . Chris Matthews

26. Kenny Bell has been dealing with injury, so Ravens fans probably haven’t gotten a chance to see him in action. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015 and he has no receptions so far in the NFL. Bell could make the team but he has a lot of work to do to get there.. . . Kenny Bell. 9. team

team. 26. C.J. Board caught a deep pass in the Ravens first preseason game. It was a pretty remarkable play as he had to jump over a cornerback to make it happen. He’s an undrafted free agent from Tennessee-Chattanooga. He has to keep making plays to even have a chance.. . . C.J. Board. 10
