The 2015 draft marked the first time in the Ravens’ 20-year history that the team took two pass catchers with their opening two picks.
You can bet that made new Offensive Coordinator Marc Trestman a very happy man.
“I just stood back and kept my mouth shut and hoped for the best,” Trestman said with a laugh. “Certainly, we’re excited about the guys we’re bringing in here.”
There’s a certain familiar look to the rookie targets the Ravens added, suggesting Trestman may have had more influence in draft meetings than he’s letting on.
They’re big-bodied players much like the ones Trestman had as the Bears’ head coach when Chicago was the second-highest scoring offense in the league in 2013.
