Ravens chia tay tân binh, chọn ký hợp đồng với ngôi sao lão tướng trong hàng công

On Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens waived undrafted rookie wide receiver Tayvion Robinson. The coinciding move to bring them back to 91 players on their roster was announced on Friday, signing minicamp tryout and six-year veteran Keith Kirkwood.

Kirkwood participated in the Ravens’ mandatory minicamp on a tryout basis and parlayed a strong enough showing into an opportunity to earn a roster spot come July and August when the team reconvenes for training camp.

The 29-year-old Kirkwood is a former undrafted free agent who played collegiately at Temple University and has spent his entire career up to this point in the NFC South. He originally signed with the New Orleans Saints where he spent his first two seasons, spent a two-year stint with the Carolina Panthers and returned to New Orleans.

Kirkwood has appeared in 32 career games between the regular and postseason and has recorded 26 receptions on 45 targets for 302 and four touchdowns. At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, he adds some size to a position group that could use some to diversify the skillsets of the collective talent.
