Sterling Shepard Works Out With Ravens but Remains Unsigned

The tryout underscored how teams use veteran workouts to judge short-term depth and mentorship potential for young receiving corps.

Overview

  • The Baltimore Ravens hosted Sterling Shepard for a workout but did not sign him and instead added veteran receiver Chris Moore to their wide receiver room.
  • Shepard is a 10-year NFL veteran who was the New York Giants’ second-round pick in 2016 and spent the past two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
  • Over two seasons in Tampa Bay he appeared in 27 games and recorded 71 catches for 705 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Shepard nearly retired after his final Giants season before Baker Mayfield recruited him to Tampa Bay, and his recent tryout reflects a late-career search for roster opportunities.
  • He remains a free agent who could attract interest for experience and off-field mentorship, but any role would depend on teams’ roster needs and competition from younger receivers.
