When the Ravens selected defensive tackle Travis Jones out of UCONN with the 76th pick in 2022 NFL Draft, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah remarked “I thought he was a top 40 player in this years draft...they love big people in Baltimore and he is going to fit right in.” This comment from former Ravens scout Jeremiah has proved to be spot on, as Jones has done exactly that in his first week of training camp.
In an elite class of big-bodied humans, the 22-year-old Jones has stood out amongst the defensive line group. Nose tackle Michael Pierce was the most recent veteran to take notice.
