Playing sparingly in his first three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, cornerback Anthony Averett was thrust into the spotlight in 2021. The Alabama-product rose to the occasion as injuries decimated Baltimore’s depth chart as he played a career-high 808 snaps while setting career-numbers in interceptions (three) and pass deflections (11).
It’s no wonder the now Las Vegas Raiders cornerback is ready for anything the Silver & Black and other teams throw at him in 2022. Teams targeted (more like picked on) Averett last season since he was an unproven commodity and he proved both sticky in coverage and a nuisance to opposing quarterbacks as he played 90 percent of the Ravens defensive snaps this past season.
