WR Rashod Bateman Thinks He’ll Be ‘Everything’ Lamar Jackson Needs

The Baltimore Ravens’ history of drafting for the wide receiver position is about as pretty as is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ in drafting cornerbacks during the Kevin Colbert (or at least the Mike Tomlin) era. Their most notable selection to date is Torrey Smith in the second round in 2011.

But they have used three picks in the first round on the position since then, and they’re still hoping for one to fully pan out. The first was Breshad Perriman in 2015, who dealt with injuries early on before somewhat finding his feet elsewhere. In 2019, they drafted Marquise Brown, who has had some production, but not reflective of his draft position, in two years.
