9 biggest winners from the Ravens’ preseason victory over the Titans
By Justin Fried
9. Tyler Huntley, QB, Ravens
Tyler Huntley received the start for Baltimore with Lamar Jackson not playing, and the former undrafted free agent played quite well. Huntley finished 16-of-18 for 109 yards and a touchdown while adding three carries for 17 yards on the ground too.
Huntley was efficient and safe with the ball, and although he didn’t light up the stat sheet, he managed the game well and was able to extend plays with his legs.
There is no competition for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Jackson, but Huntley reminded everyone that he’s a very capable backup on Thursday.
8. Anthony Brown, QB, Ravens
Huntley wasn’t the only Ravens quarterback who shined on Thursday as undrafted rookie Anthony Brown had his moments in the second half as well. The Oregon product completed 10-of-15 passes for 117 yards including some impressive throws to the likes of Isaiah Likely and Shemar Bridges.
Brown likely won’t make the 53-man roster, but he might just have shown enough in the first preseason game to convince the Ravens to keep him around on the practice squad.
7. Jordan Stout, P, Ravens
Replacing a 16-year NFL veteran and franchise icon is never an easy task for a rookie, but fourth-round pick Jordan Stout certainly looked the part on Thursday. The Ravens’ rookie punter wowed those watching at home with his impressive hangtime, averaging 47.8 yards per punt on four attempts.
Stout was consistent and showed off the massive leg that made him the first punter drafted in this year’s draft and the earliest punter drafted since 2012. He may not be Sam Koch just yet, but Stout made a solid first impression.
