Ravens training camp: 3 key storylines to watch in 2020

No. 1: How Ravens Disperse the Wide Receivers

One of Greg Roman’s best traits is to complement the running game with a versatile and potent crop of tight ends. In many cases, previously with the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills, Roman’s offenses have made wide receivers a secondary element.

Yet that could change in 2020, thanks largely to the promising development of second-year pro wideout Marquise Brown after his 46-catch, 584-yard, seven-touchdown campaign from a year ago.

Some of the depth behind Brown, at least at the end of 2019, remains questionable. Willie Snead will get another chance, as well as the big-bodied Miles Boykin needing to take a big leap in year two of his pro career.

But both of these two second-tier wideouts are going to be pushed by the player the Ravens selected in Round 3, former Texas wide receiver Devin Duvernay.

Duvernay has some excellent speed to his game, and he’s about as sure-handed as any receiver coming out from this year’s draft class, making him someone worth watching as a potential slot starter.

Perhaps, however, a sleeper candidate like sixth-round wideout James Proche ends up being the player who makes the biggest impression in camp. That’s possible, too.

Behind Brown, the wide receiver depth chart is completely open, and the competition here should be compelling.
