“With the 25th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Hayden Hurst, tight end from South Carolina.” “With the 86th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Mark Andrews, tight end from Oklahoma.”
And so it was written.
It was after Andrews was selected in the third round that an incoming roster battle was to be held between the two. For better or for worse, the Ravens now had a competition between two rookies for top-dog status as the team’s starting tight end.
But don’t let the draft value fool you, Mark Andrews could give Hayden Hurst a serious run for his money.
