The Baltimore Ravens got quite the haul in the 2020 NFL Draft, selecting 10 players to their already stacked roster. But it’s the Ravens’ work following the draft that has been lauded by many and they’re looking to continue that work this offseason. According to a press release from Baltimore, the Ravens have signed three undrafted free agents.
C Trystan Colon-Castillo, Missouri
QB Tyler Huntley, Utah
K Nick Vogel, Alabama at Birmingham
All three players offer great competition and depth for training camp. Baltimore will be looking to continue their 16-year streak of at least one UDFA making the 53-man roster. The Ravens have gotten great results from their UDFAs previously, seeing guys like linebacker Bart Scott, center Mike Flynn, and running back Priest Holmes work their way into starting roles and becoming household names.
However, out of the three just signed, Colon-Castillo has the best chance of making the roster. Center Matt Skura is rehabbing from a gruesome knee injury suffered last season that sent him to injured reserve, and it’s unclear if he’ll be ready for training camp. Patrick Mekari, a UDFA last season, started in his place and played well but will likely see competition this offseason.
Both Huntley and Vogel are seemingly locked out from the roster bout could impress enough to get signed elsewhere. Lamar Jackson is the unquestioned franchise quarterback and both Trace McSorley and Robert Griffin III are locked in as backups behind him. Though the Ravens have kept an extra kicker in the past — Kaare Vedvik — Baltimore has the NFL’s most accurate leg in Justin Tucker.
Baltimore surely isn’t done signing UDFAs quite yet, though. Typically, players come into rookie minicamp as a tryout and are signed afterward but with the coronavirus making OTAs virtual and physicals harder to get, the UDFA process is likely going to be a little less standard than previous years.
