As noted in yesterday's Late for Work, expectations are growing for the Ravens' passing game, thanks in part to a trio of young wide receivers: Duvernay and second-year players Brown and Miles Boykin.
Rizzo noted that the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Duvernay thrived in the slot in college after moving to that position for his senior season, which is another reason he and the Ravens are a perfect fit.
"It turned out that he should have primarily been used as a slot receiver his entire college career," Rizzo wrote. "It's worth noting that Baltimore had 19 touchdown receptions from players lined up in the slot in 2019. No other NFL team had more than 15, per [Pro Football Focus].
"Joining one of the league's most prolific offenses and well-run organizations, Duvernay possesses the tools to help Jackson build on his MVP season, which could potentially push the Ravens over the top in the AFC this season."
Ravens Wire's Kevin Oestreicher also believes Duvernay has the potential to make the league's highest-scoring offense last year even more potent.
"With a skill set that could work at any spot on the field, Duvernay has the chance to make a serious impact as a matchup nightmare for an offense that's trying to become undefendable," Oestreicher wrote.
NFL.com Analyst: Jump on Browns, Bengals Bandwagons
While the Ravens are Super Bowl contenders and a number of pundits believe a healthy Ben Roethlisberger makes the Pittsburgh Steelers a playoff team, the other two AFC North teams shouldn't be dismissed, NFL.com's Adam Schein wrote.
Fans of the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals should also jump on their team's bandwagon in 2020, according to Schein.Schein, who picked the Browns to win the AFC North last year, predicted they'll make the playoffs this season.
"I truly believe these Browns are different – and much improved after an offseason full of significant additions (and subtractions)," Schein wrote. "Tight end Austin Hooper and offensive tackle Jack Conklin were ideal pickups in free agency. They'll make [Baker] Mayfield better. As will first-round OT Jedrick Wills. And Baker will thrive in his first season under the biggest addition of all: a new head coach/play-caller in the form of the cerebral and buttoned-up Kevin Stefanski."
