August 16th, 2009 | by Kevin Hanson |The Baltimore Ravens now have five quarterbacks on their roster with the addition of Cleo Lemon and undrafted rookie Drew Willy. Lemon was close to signing with the Patriots as well, but his past experience with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, when both were in Miami and previously in San Diego, helped him choose Baltimore.
On my football site (Eat, Drink & Sleep Football), I updated our fantasy football consensus rankings, which averages out the rankings of five sites. The following Ravens’ players (and ranks in parenthesis) appear in the top 150: Ray Rice (74), Willis McGahee (104), Le’Ron McClain (111), Derrick Mason (119), and Mark Clayton (138).
When the Ravens meet former defensive coordinator Rex Ryan on Monday the 24th, the Jets will start rookie Mark Sanchez against them.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, who visited Ravens’ camp today, was interviewed by Ken Murray of the Baltimore Sun. In it, Mort predicted that Flacco wouldn’t suffer a sophomore jinx and that the Ravens will win the AFC North. (Of course, let’s see how he answers that question when he’s in Pittsburgh.)
