asa jackson and deandre carter battle it out imo. camponaro may not even make the team if he keeps getting injured

[Drew P]

Not a lot to get excited about from that list.

[MightyRaven]

I think you can get excited about DeAndre Carter

[stixfix69]

shame Camp gets hurt all the time, did watch some film of him from last year, and he does have the quicks, and a nice burst....

[DomMcRaven]

Ahh. Yes. The competition I'm looking forward to the most (more so than the WRs). I'm looking forward to see the rookies (most notably DeAndre Carter) in training camp action tomorrow. 

[Bruce_Almty]

Perriman is not an option???

[Purple Dawg 96]

I vote Asa "Ace Boogie" Jackson

[steelcityraven]

I think that Campanaro is the leader for ST duties (but he has to stay healthy) Fitz has shown some promise and I like the though of him back there for two reasons 1. He has the ability to make people miss 2. It could give us a chance to keep him on the team. He is talented enough that we could lose him to a competitor but with Forsett, LT and Buck in front on him... not sure how much regular action he will see. I think keeping him around for another year allows him to develop and we can see what his true potential is! Don't like the idea of ASA in the return game!

[BallmoreAllDay]

If he can stay healthy, i think it Camp's job.

[cbrook1862]

I like Carter

[mearzunkies]

Carter, Asa and Camp are all valid options. CAW CAW CAW

[cobrajet]

After camp and preseason, we can see who is bringing it. After the injuries to our secondary last season, I am hoping the others win the job.

Perriman is not an option???

On every scouting report I've read on Breshad not one says that he's ever returned kicks or punts which is weird for such a gifted athlete 

[bigcatfrank1]

I think it will be a WR that surprise the coaches toward the end of the season. Toussaint will probably get some chances. Carter may surprise everyone! Campy may not be available...so Jackson and Carter will probably see kick return action early. Breshad may get a fair catch or two.

I was thinking he was Jacoby Jones-like, size, speed, position. He's supposed to be able to catch the ball but if that's an issue he could still receive kickoffs. Anywho lol I'm sure the coaches will figure it out.

 

And thanks for not neg'in me for asking a question.

Campy is our Wes Welker

[stixfix69]

If Perriman was a number 3 WR i would be all for him trying to handle KR/PR duties, but if he is our future #1 i don't see our coaching staff risking it, just like i don't want to see Webb back there, other than to fair catch punts....

[BmoreB]

Campanaro better get healthy. It's nothing personal but other players know he's vulnerable and they are gunning for his roster spot. This will be one of the most interesting competitions for sure.

The First round pick? Imma say no.

Lol I didn't neg ur comment but if it makes u happy I can one up it so it cancels out ur negative. Anyways, I know what you mean, he has a lot of the same measurable traits as a guy like Cordarelle Patterson who also returns.

He doesn't play up to his athletic ability. He plays like a 4.5 when he's really a 4.2

[Orange_Peanut]

How can you say that when he hasn't even played a snap. Don't be a Negative Neddy, give the man a chance.

[757RavensFan]

Weird seeing Asa Jackson wearing #27!

[jravens13]

This is actually one of our biggest question Marks IMO. We need one of these young guys to step up. It might be Camp's only chance at making the roster. I wonder how Aiken would fare. I think he is just a flat out baller.

[berniemc2015]

I know this is going to get me in trouble with my Ravens, here goes. Put Steve Smith S,R, on kickoff returns and let Perrimen and Brown be the starting Wr. alright guys lay it on me.

[rainbowrider]

Butler and/or Waller...Have to keep them on the roster some way

That's CraZy....just crazy enough to work!!!

[balfan23]

The last thing we need is for Webby to get injured. He's got the best experience on punt returning out of that group, but I'm really not so sure I want to see him in that role.

[RavenManiac#7]

Webby- NO, NO, NO! The fair catches near our goal line, I could live with, but Anything else, No, No No! SSS- No, No, No! WHY??? Camp- Although he's a definite candidate, it Will increase his chances of getting yet another injury, and I think his biggest value to us is as a slot receiver. I really believe that he could do some amazing things from there if he can stay healthy and be given the chance. Asa- Good candidate. Toussaint- Good candidate. Butler- Not mentioned, but maybe something to look at. Better chance to make the roster if he has extra value as a STer. Carter- If he makes the team it will be because he proves his worth as a returner or/and Camp gets hurt again, so possibly. This one is going to be interesting.
