Less than a year ago, Bryn Renner was cleaning golf carts in North Carolina. Then last Thursday, the third-string quarterback was the hero who orchestrated the Ravens' game-winning drive in their first preseason game against the New Orleans Saints.
It's been a whirlwind two years for Renner. It started with a season-ending shoulder injury Nov. 2, 2013, in his senior year at North Carolina. After going undrafted, he signed with the Denver Broncos but was cut during the preseason. Then, in October, he agreed to a deal with an Arena Football League team but never reported. Instead, he worked at the Golf Club at Chapel Ridge.
