On a sunny Friday afternoon on the Ravens’ practice field in Owings Mills, Maryland, Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta joined the media for availability following the league-wide roster moves as all teams set their initial 53-man rosters. DeCosta shared nearly 17-minutes of his time with media to answer a wide array of topics. Here are the highlights.
The Passing of Gil Brandt
DeCosta shared he was a child of the 70s and became a Dallas Cowboys fan in 1978, where Gil Brandt was the teams’ Chief Talent Scout. Brandt helped to revolutionize talent and scouting evaluation systems that have been used by teams across the NFL, including, according to DeCosta, the Ravens.
