Potential Landing Spot for 1100-Yard Receiver Named by the Ravens
In 2024, the Baltimore Ravens will be a very different squad.
Their director of player personnel, defensive coordinator, and defensive backs coach have already left.
That won’t be the only change the Ravens see; a significant portion of their roster, including several starters and two All-Pros, will be entering free agency.
Although it will be challenging for the squad to hold onto such a talented lineup, it also presents some potential for improvement.
A standout receiver may be one of those additions.
Given that both Nelson Agholor and Odell Beckham Jr. are nearing the conclusion of their contracts, the team may need to fill some places at the position.
Brad Spielberger of PFF believes that would make them a suitable landing place for Michael Pittman Jr.
After surviving inconsistent play from the quarterback position for four years, the Colts receiver is nearing the end of his rookie contract with the team and is among the best in the league at his position.
A Receiver of QB-Proof
Pittman Jr. has spent his whole career in Indianapolis, where the Colts have featured some of the most patchy quarterback play in the league.
The Colts had Philip Rivers in the last season of his career during his debut year.
Carson Wentz, who only spent a year in Indianapolis, took his place the next year.
Pittman Jr. experienced particularly difficult times in 2022 as a result of Nick Foles, Sam Ehlinger, and a Matt Ryan who was past his peak all throwing the ball to him.
The team moved on to Gardner Minshew and rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson for the 2023 campaign.
The Ravens made an investment to strengthen their passing attack prior to the 2023 campaign.
They acquired Beckham Jr. in a trade and signed Zay Flowers.
Lamar Jackson gave them something back for their money. He had the finest passing season of his career, setting new records for yards per attempt, completion percentage, and passing yards.
