Rookie Receiver Devontez Walker Makes Strong Impression at Ravens’ Camp
Few things are as promising for a rookie as receiving praise from their new head coach, and that’s precisely the case for Devontez ‘Tez’ Walker, the former UNC football standout who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Walker wasted no time impressing during the Ravens’ rookie camp, catching the attention of head coach John Harbaugh with his speed, size, and agility.
Harbaugh’s commendation of Walker’s performance highlights the rookie’s potential to contribute to the Ravens’ offense right from the start. With Baltimore drafting him with specific intentions, Walker now has the opportunity to prove his worth and secure his spot on the team’s roster for the upcoming season.
The Ravens’ selection of Walker is particularly auspicious given the opportunity he has to catch passes from star quarterback Lamar Jackson. Known for his ability to distribute the ball effectively, Jackson provides an ideal environment for Walker to thrive and make his mark as a rookie wide receiver.
As the NFL season approaches, all eyes will be on Walker to see how he fares with his new team. Among the UNC football alumni drafted this year, Walker appears to be in the best position to make an immediate impact, given his skill set and the opportunities that lie ahead with the Ravens. With hard work and determination, Walker has the potential to become a valuable asset for Baltimore and carve out a successful career in the NFL.
