The Baltimore Ravens looked to bolster their wide receiver corps this offseason both in free agency and the 2021 NFL Draft. And perhaps no addition will be more impactful than that of Rashod Bateman.
After signing Sammy Watkins in free agency, the Ravens returned and selected the former Minnesota star, Bateman, with the 27th overall pick in this year’s draft.
The Ravens saw Bateman as one of the best wide receivers in an absolutely stacked draft class and a player who could contribute on offense in a significant way early in his career.
