Ravens Keep Three Undrafted Defensive Rookies on Initial 53-Man Roster

Rival interest in the trio underscores Baltimore’s roster depth.

Overview

  • The Ravens kept undrafted rookies Reuben Lowery III (S), Jay Higgins IV (LB) and Keyon Martin (CB) on the initial 53, the first time since 2018 they retained three UDFAs.
  • General manager Eric DeCosta informed the players in person in a team video that drew wide attention on social media.
  • Higgins logged an interception and a strip-sack in preseason action, Martin recorded a safety and a pick-six, and Lowery delivered consistent ball production including an interception.
  • DeCosta said he fielded calls from other teams about the trio during cutdown discussions, which he viewed as validation of Baltimore’s evaluations.
  • Roster cuts drew immediate interest elsewhere, with Jalyn Armour-Davis claimed by the Titans, Beau Brade by the Giants and Tennessee also claiming C.J. Ravenell.
