Baltimore Beat Down · Nov 21, 2021
Rashod Bateman is quietly off to a hot start
The Baltimore Ravens selected wide receiver Rashod Bateman with their first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Bateman, a fan favorite throughout “draft season”, seemed like the perfect wideout to pair alongside Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown. Andrews is a powerful and determined force in the middle of the field that has acted as quarterback Lamar Jackson’s security blanket and biggest red zone threat for the Ravens. Brown is a lightning quick jitterbug with outstanding nuance in his breaks at the stem of routes and some of the best deep tracking ability in the sport. Bateman brings balance between the two.
