Ravens HC Harbaugh Praises Rashod Bateman: Rookie WR 'Is as Advertised'

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday he was impressed with the performance of wide receiver Rashod Bateman during the team's rookie minicamp.

Harbaugh told reporters Bateman, the No. 27 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, lived up to their initial expectations after a standout collegiate career at the University of Minnesota:

"Impressions are very positive. He's a no-nonsense guy, has a nice demeanor about him. He's a quick learner. He's everything we thought he would be in terms of the athleticism, the skill set. That's usually the case, but not always the case.
