Anthony Brown is testament to Ravens’ approach to signing undrafted rookies

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Ravens vs. Titans in London for Week 6 NFL action. Anthony Brown knew where he’d stand on the Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback depth chart if he signed with the team back in April as an undrafted rookie free agent. Members of former or current undrafted free-agent classes who contributed to the win in Pittsburgh included running back Gus Edwards, who rushed for 66 yards and salted the game away with a late 6-yard run; fullback Patrick Ricard, who was battering Steelers all afternoon; Tucker, who converted all four of his kicks; offensive lineman Trystan Colon, who played well in his first start at guard; and defensive back Ar’Darius Washington, who played a handful of snaps in the slot. With the Steelers looking to cut the Ravens’ lead to three in the fourth quarter, Calais Campbell blocked a Chris Boswell 40-yard field goal attempt. That’s two special teams plays that the Steelers botched, taking away points and leading to Ravens points, in a game ultimately decided by two.
