The Ravens concluded their second week of organized team activities Friday, and while there were several starters not present, other players who stepped in made the most of the opportunity.
No one took advantage of the extra reps more than wide receiver Devontez Walker. The second-year pass-catcher made several impressive grabs as the Ravens worked in the red zone most of the afternoon. He beat a defender to the ball for a toe-dragging TD catch in 11-on-11 drills and later made an over-the-shoulder grab in the end zone.
Walker has continued to make plays throughout the first two weeks of OTAs and will look to compete for offensive snaps in a crowded wide receiver room led by Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins.
The Ravens will have their final four OTAs practices Monday-Thursday next week.
Here are other notes from Friday's practice:
- Defensive tackle Travis Jones made his best Michael Pierce impression on the first 11-on-11 play of the day, coming up with an interception after batting the ball up in the air near the line of scrimmage.
- Malaki Starks nabbed an interception in the flat during 7-on-7 red zone drills.
- Nate Wiggins joined in on the takeaway party with an interception of his own during the last period of the day.
- Rookie kicker Tyler Loop was perfect on live kicks, converting on a 60-yard attempt and finishing 6 for 6 on field goal attempts.
- Running back Keaton Mitchell showed off his receiver skills on an over-the-shoulder catch near the back of the end zone on a well-placed ball from Devin Leary.
- Safety Beau Brade broke up a pass intended for Charlie Kolar near the goal line.
- Undrafted rookie cornerback Reuben Lowery had an interception for the second day in a row.
