In the Hunt
- Jalyn Armour-Davis
- Ka'dar Hollman
- Marlon Humphrey
- Christian Matthew
- Arthur Maulet
- Trayvon Mullen
- Brandon Stephens
- Tre Swilling
- Damarion "Pepe" Williams
- Bump Cooper Jr. (undrafted rookie)
- T.J. Tampa (rookie)
- Nate Wiggins (rookie)
Projected Starters
Stephens was the Ravens' most consistent cornerback last season and enters his fourth year looking to show he can be one of the best in the league and earn a contract extension in Baltimore. Opposite him, Humphrey is looking to rebound after missing eight games, including one in the playoffs. Foot surgery in training camp meant a delayed start to the season, then a lingering calf injury hampered him down the stretch. A three-time Pro Bowler, Humphrey aims to stay healthy and re-establish himself as a premier cornerback who can affect the game in multiple ways.
The question is if, or when, first-round pick Wiggins will emerge as a starter. While it's a tough assignment for any cornerback to step in as a starter immediately, the speedy rookie has all the tools to take over at some point. But for whom? At the start, Wiggins will probably work into the rotation and perhaps sometimes bump Humphrey inside to nickel.
Best Battle
The competition for snaps at nickel cornerback is going to be interesting. The Ravens re-signed the scrappy Maulet after he had a strong debut in Baltimore last season. But Baltimore also wants to continue to deploy safety Kyle Hamilton in a versatile role after he played 465 snaps at slot corner last season, per Pro Football Focus. That's more snaps than he logged at free safety (301) or strong safety (236). Williams is also a feisty slot corner and Humphrey could see time there if Wiggins is deployed outside. It's a crowded spot full of good players.
Here's how the roster stacks up as the Ravens enter Minicamp at the Under Armour Performance Center.

An undrafted rookie out of Monmouth last year, Wright contributed on special teams in 2023 and faces another uphill battle for a roster spot.

DL No. 7 - Deadrin Senat
Senat has spent the past six seasons as a backup in the NFL and played in 15 games the past two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 6-foot, 314-pound tackle is significantly leaner than Pierce, but he has some intriguing explosion.

OLB - David Ojabo

OLB No. 6 – Adisa Isaac
The third-round pick could be part of the outside linebacker rotation immediately, particularly on passing downs if he's getting to the opposing quarterback.

Maulet is a tenacious slot cornerback who loves the action inside, and the Ravens made re-signing him one of their offseason priorities.

Entering his third season as a pro, Swilling finished last season on Baltimore's practice squad.
CB - Trayvon Mullen
A second-round pick of the Raiders in 2019, Mullen started 26 games in his first two seasons. He bounced to Arizona and Dallas in 2022 before spending the 2023 season in Baltimore on the non-football injury list. He's Lamar Jackson's cousin.
CB - Christian Matthew

S - Kyle Hamilton
S - Marcus Williams
S - Ar'Darius Washington
S - Sanoussi Kane
S No. 5 - Jordan Toles
The local Morgan State product had three interceptions and a forced fumble in 2023, and he flashed his ball hawking ways during OTAs. If Toles keep making plays, he's going to be tough to keep off the roster.
S No. 6 - Beau Brade
Widely projected to be drafted, Brade signed with his hometown team with a chance to win a 53-man roster spot. An ankle injury that sidelined him for OTAs didn't help, however. The University of Maryland product will be looking look to prove himself during minicamp and training camp.
K - Justin Tucker
P - Jordan Stout
LS - Nick Moore
No. 2 LS - Randen Plattner
Plattner snapped at Kansas State and was a semifinalist for the Patrick Mannelly Long Snapper of the Year award last season.
Under the Radar
The Ravens drafted Armour-Davis and Williams in the fourth round two years ago believing they could grow into key players in their secondary. Both have been derailed by injuries thus far, but the talent remains. They practiced consistently throughout the summer so far, and if they stay on the field in training camp, they could both be key depth pieces. Baltimore has other young corners, such as fourth-round rookie Tampa, Swilling, and others pushing for their 53-man roster spots.
