Hayden Hurst was the first player the Baltimore Ravens took in the 2018 NFL Draft. Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews have been awarded for their development with a trip to the 2019 Pro Bowl.

The first thing the Ravens need to do is give Hurst more opportunities in the slot. Hurst is every bit the athlete that Mark Andrews is. If you looked at their performances in the NFL combine, Hurst and Andrews had almost the same exact results.
