[BR News]

Despite being one of the youngest players in the NFL last year, Maxx Williams still set franchise marks for rookie tight end production. Now he’s watching the veterans more to pick up their tricks as he looks for his place moving forward.

Toughen your body Maxx. You can't be soft in the NFL. Hit the weight room with intensity! It will help your speed and endurance. Easy on the the "Tats". I'm getting dizzy.

The TEs are going to be even more involved this year. All of these TEs could become the most solid group, that I have ever witnessed in all of my years.
If Pitta can stay healthy ? I would not be surprised to see the Ravens carry 4 TEs on their Roster. Then they will have to decide what to do with Boyle, later on in the Season.

Maxx played well, but before the injury Crockett was beasting it last year....

Maxx is the next Heap. He'll be better than Pita ever was.

Crocket was in his second year also. No knock on Gilmore. He's a stud too. These two are the future TE's of the ravens.

He needs to figure out how to creat separation. He is the least athletic of all the TEs. However being as young as he is, and having a dad that played in the NFL, in all likelihood has not scratched the surface of his potential.

What impressed me so much about Crockett was he was drafted to be the blocking TE, but showed in year 2 he was so much more...I loved how he never avoided contact after the catch, and wanted to deliver the blow instead of taking it after a catch....

Maxx has the heart of a honey badger. Just needs to protect his body better.

I like Williams, better than Breshard Perriman (I guess he really exists but we are not sure since he never plays). The question I have is why all of these tight ends? How many does any team need? With Pitta one step away from being gone again, I guess we need more than most.

I think Maxx has potential, and other than looking kind of gangly and spastic (meaning not a lot of body control) the only thing that worries me about Maxx is his durability.

I've seen Dennis make some great catches. If Maxx can do better than Dennis he will be great. I really hope you are right.

I hope Maxx gets his chances and gets many touches. Perhaps he can line up in the flat for a receiver route once in a while. Gronk has done that.

I exspect the Ravens will score a lot of points but I have a bad feeling so will the other teams. Pass rush will not be the issue but after first contact it could get ugly

I feel better about our secondary than i did last year. Weedle, Frazier, Webb, and powers should do wonders for us IMO

Williams is the most athletic of any of our TE's. Highest vert, fastest 40, and youngest of the group. He also has huge hands that help him make circus catches like the Top WR's in the league. I expect Williams to become a pro bowler in a few years and one of Flacco's favorite targets.

I'm sure maxx will get your message. he is a big fan of reading the comments section on the ravens website.

2nd round TE.

You got to step your game up Maxx. You should not be in the 'rotation' and get beat by 2nd stringers again.

STEP YOUR GAME UP SON!

I think its mainly becaus they dont know which guys can stay healthy and consistent. TE is the most important key to a QB's success. I'm more concerned with our RB situation, because as far as I can tell, THESE DOGS DONT HUNT.

Wish they;d make more articles we fan members can actually comment on and discuss with each other. This onslaught of videos they're putting up is cool but not interesting. Could just be me though, I like to read an article and share my thoughts on it. Sarah does the best article, then Eisenberg.
