Nebraska large receiver and former St. Frances Academy Panther Jahmal Banks has simply signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent.
Banks has the measurements of a prototypical X receiver, which the Ravens have had hassle drafting since the starting of time.
In truth, the final time the purple and black had a ‘go up and get it man’ on the roster was 2012 in none aside from Anquan Boldin.
The Ravens just lately tapped the shoulder of DeAndre Hopkins to offer a few of that, however he is in the twilight of his profession.
Banks performed at Wake Forest for 3 seasons after which transferred to Nebraska, the place he logged in 587 yards and three touchdowns final season.
If he can by some means make the closing 53, this shall be a boon to the WR core, particularly in the “gotta have it down” and pink redzone goal departments.
Banks could have a robust time seeing the subject, as the ball has to hit the palms of Henry, Flowers, Bateman, Likely, Hopkins, Hill, Mitchell, Andrews, and many others.
However, there’s a likelihood for him to perhaps lock himself someplace between the 5-6 WR slot.
On his tape, Banks is seen all over the place.
He’s going up on a ladder in the finish zone and in the center of the subject.
He’s discovering delicate spots in the zone, utilizing his dimension to big-boy small corners, going up on a ladder to assault the ball, and making contested catches—all inexperienced checks for a group which favors smaller WRs.
It’s not clever to get tremendous excited over UDFAs, however a man can have hope.
