Baltimore Ravens Draft Adam Randall: A Versatile Running Back

0:00On April 28th, Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Biscotti just made his first NFL draft pick after owning the team for 22 years. He went with Clemson running back Adam Randall at pick number 174 in the 5th round. This 23-year-old Salisbury Stagrad, who wasn't even a star high school athlete, dove deep into the process and locked in his guy. By Seattle teamed up with GM Eric DeCosta back in January to claim this exact spot. DeCosta joked that Steve was begging for it down in Florida even though he owns the squad. Randall stands 6-foot-3, 232 pounds, switched from wide receiver to running back last season and still balled out with 8. 116 rushing yards, 10 touchdowns, plus 36 catches for 254 yards and 3 more scores. Ravens fans no big backs like Derek Henry, who rushed for 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns last year. But Randall adds that receiver skill, route running threat and return specialist chops, averaging

1:0423.2 yards per return. He's the perfect complement to keep Henry fresh and give Lamar Jackson quick options outside the tackles. The NFL's leaning hard into two back sets, like the Lions with Jommier Gibbs and David Montgomery, combining for 72 rushing touchdowns over, three years. The center Tyler Linderbaum out, Randall helps the ground game stay dynamic, especially under new OC Declan Doyle, who mixed back well in Chicago. Last season, Bissy Addy didn't just have fun. He picked a Swiss army knife with sky high potential, someone who could spell Henry now or take the reins later. Keeping Baltimore's offense creative for years.
