Ravens sign 13 rookie free agents
- Original Baltimore Sun article: Ravens sign 13 rookie free agents
The Ravens loaded up on undrafted rookie free agents today, signing 13 to compete for spots on their roster. The most intriguing prospect might be tight end Joe Reitz of Western Michigan.
Baltimore began a mandatory three-day minicamp today at its practice facility in Owings Mills.
Reitz was a star basketball player for the Broncos, playing center, but realized that 6-foot-7, 256-pound centers rarely make it in the NBA. But he could be a tight end and eventually an offensive tackle if he gets big enough. He last played football in high school in Fishers, Ind.
As a basketball player at Western Michigan, Reitz ended his career third on the all-time scoring (1,713 points) and rebounding (939) lists.
In addition to Reitz, the Ravens signed: Brandon Barnes, guard from Grand Valley State; Patrick Carter, wide receiver from Louisville; Piotr Czech, a punter from Wagner; Benjamin Dato, punter/kicker from Fordham; Sean Dumford, tackle from Eastern Kentucky; Adam Kraus, guard from Michigan; Scott Kuhn, tight end from Louisville; Jameel McClain, linebacker from Syracuse; Brad Roach, quarterback from Catawba (N.C.); Ernie Wheelwright, wide receiver from Minnesota; Isaiah Wiggins, guard from Illinois State; and Lorenzo Williams, defensive tackle from Missouri.
