- Tyler Huntley will get the start in the Ravens' final regular season game and what will most likely be their final game of the season.
#Ravens announce that Tyler Huntley will start Sunday vs. the #Steelers. Lamar Jackson is still nursing that nagging ankle injury.

- I miss Huntley interviews. If you look close you can see that the hoody he is wearing is from Zack Moss’ clothing line.
"It’s like a little kid learning how to draw. First time you draw, it look crazy... Then you get an actual kind of picture… Then it start looking like a real deal picture.”@Ravens’ @_SNOOP1 on his growth this past month.

- You can use Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator to run through the first 2 rounds of the draft as your favorite team. In my super scientific trials, Devin Lloyd was consistently drafted at pick #20-22 to either the Ravens, Dolphins, or Patriots.
- Antonio Morales at The Athletic wrote about reasons for optimism and concern for each Pac-12 football program. Utah’s reason for optimism is the star power returning on offense and the reason for concern is the star power being lost on defense. You can read the details about the Utes and the rest of the Pac-12 here. ($)
- Micah Bernard has dropped some merch. If you want to buy some you can find it here. The graphic is in reference to Bernard having fun with a video included below.
