The Baltimore Ravens are adding depth to their wide receiver corps by signing veteran Keith Kirkwood, known for making big plays with Drew Brees, to compete for a roster spot in a crowded field. Kirkwood, with experience dating back to 2018, faces tough competition to secure a place on the team, especially after the departure of undrafted free agent Tayvion Robinson. Despite a limited NFL career, Kirkwood's performance with the New Orleans Saints highlights his potential as a valuable asset for the Ravens.

By the Numbers
  • Kirkwood made 13 out of his 24 career catches and 209 out of his 294 career receiving yards in his rookie season with the New Orleans Saints.
  • Kirkwood played at least 44% of snaps twice in his career and was valued for his role as an underneath threat.
State of Play
  • Fierce competition at the back end of the Ravens' roster as Kirkwood joins the mix for a wide receiver spot.
  • Ravens have solidified four wide receiver positions, leaving Kirkwood to contend with other promising talents for a place on the team.
  • Kirkwood's chances of making the final roster rely on his performance compared to competitors like Tylan Wallace, Malik Cunningham, and Dayton Wade.
Bottom Line

The addition of veteran receiver Kirkwood brings experience and competition to the Ravens' roster, enhancing the battle for roster spots and potentially elevating the team's receiving corps with his proven playmaking abilities.
