Ravens roster cuts: 3 players we want to see get another shot
1. Jaleel Scott
Hello, it’s me again. I’m calling to remind you for the millionth time that I’m a big Jaleel Scott fan. Scott is the perfect example of a player who got hindered by there being no preseason. For three seasons in a row, Scott has tried out for the Ravens, with his 6-5 frame and at the very least looked promising. Scott was a fourth round pick out of New Mexico State.
It’s hard to think of a fourth rounder who has gotten less of a chance to show that he could do it at the NFL level. Jermaine Eluemunor was an awful offensive lineman for the Ravens, but he got the equivalent of half a season on the field in the regular season. The Patriots traded a sixth round pick for him and Eluemunor is still with them. I know they play different positions. The point is that if Scott found himself this much playing time, he may have worked out.
Truthfully Miles Boykin has more potential than Scott. Why however, does it have to be an either or situation. Are the Ravens only allowed to have one receiver over six feet tall? Chris Moore doesn’t count, so don’t come back with that. Speaking of Moore, who made it just for special teams purposes, who would you rather line up at wide receiver? Moore or Scott? In my estimation the Ravens would get more value from Scott on offense.
Scott may never get his chance with the Ravens, but hopefully he gets a chance in the NFL. Hopefully Scott has a career in the league and isn’t destined just to be a training camp roster filler. He has real talent and real potential that isn’t even being explored.
