Ravens news: 4 notable standouts from 2021 OTAs so far
By Justin Fried
The Baltimore Ravens are officially through more than half of their 2021 OTAs. With six practices down and four left to go, there have certainly been quite a few takeaways.
Some positive, and some negative, as to be expected.
Minicamp and OTAs this offseason had a very different feel to them than in years past. After a tumultuous 2020 that saw the absence of in-person offseason workouts, the presence of OTAs this spring is more important forever.
Not only is this the first session of OTAs for the 2021 rookies, but the same is true for last year’s rookies who are entering their first true offseason of workouts.
Even third-year receiver Marquise Brown is participating in his first OTAs after missing his rookie season’s workouts due to injury.
It’s an important period of time for everyone, rookies and veterans alike. And while many of the team’s veterans aren’t attending — such as Calais Campbell, Brandon Williams, and others — it’s still good to see the majority of the roster back together again.
As with every year, there are a few players who manage to stand out amongst their peers during the individual and team portions of OTAs.
Who are this year’s notable standouts?
We take a look at four of the most impressive players to this point.
