The 4-year contract is worth a guaranteed $14 million, with a $7.2 million signing bonus. Straight out of Boston College, he was initially coveted by the Giants but chose the Ravens instead. His impact has been felt through standout performances in OTAs, training camps, and preseason matchups. QB teammate Jackson has fittingly dubbed him “Joystick” owing to his impressive speed on the gridiron. His previous season’s college stats included 1077 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.
