OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Among the first words Keenan Reynolds heard at a recent Baltimore Ravens minicamp came from special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg.
"Timing is everything, huh Keenan?" Rosburg said.
Rosburg was referring to the Department of Defense's decision to rescind a policy that gave permission to military service academy athletes to play professionally immediately after graduation. That allowed Reynolds, a star at Navy, the opportunity to join the Ravens last year.
But, when looking at the bigger picture, the timing is perfect for Reynolds to make the Ravens' season-opening roster.
