While the Ravens could still add a veteran wide receiver, General Manager Eric DeCosta expressed confidence that the Ravens’ young receivers will blossom in 2022.
The trade that sent Marquise Brown to the Cardinals means the Ravens are moving forward without their most productive wide receiver and top deep of the past three years. However, 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman is healthy and could be poised for a breakout season, while DeCosta believes James Proche II, Devin Duvernay, and Tylan Wallace are all ready for bigger roles.
“We see those guys every day in the building, right?,” DeCosta said on “The Lounge” podcast. “We see James. A lot of times James is uncoverable. We see Devin, we see the speed and toughness and the contact balance and hands. We saw Tylan this year on special teams and then when he had a chance to make a play, he made a big play. Tylan was a guy that, before his injury, probably would have been a second-round pick. So we’re excited about those guys.”
