6. Travis Jones, DT, Ravens

Travis Jones has been one of the standouts from Ravens’ training camp so it wasn’t a surprise to see him make his presence felt on Thursday. The rookie third-round pick scored an athletic sack, chasing down rookie QB Malik Willis while refusing to let him escape his grasp.

As the days go by, it seems more and more unreal that the Ravens were able to land Jones in the third round. General manager Eric DeCosta and company won’t be issuing any formal complaints, however. Jones looks like the real deal.

5. Geno Stone, S, Ravens

Geno Stone always seems to maximize his playing time, and that’s exactly what he did on Thursday. On the same drive in the second half, Stone burst into the backfield for a huge tackle for loss, broke up a potential touchdown pass to rookie Treylon Burks, and intercepted a tipped pass from undrafted linebacker Josh Ross.

Stone was all over the field on Thursday as he certainly made his case for a roster spot. The Ravens have excellent depth at safety, but it’s going to be really hard to leave Stone off the final roster.

4. Steven Means, OLB, Ravens

The Ravens have been looking for one of their pass rushers to step up this summer, and veteran Steven Means answered that call on Thursday. Means flew around left tackle Christian DiLauro for a sack in the first half and nearly recorded another sack at the end of the half.

It was a productive day for the 31-year-old linebacker who seems primed to push for one of the backup outside linebacker spots on the roster. More performances like this one will certainly help his case.
