The Baltimore Ravens have used the NFL Scouting Combine as a way to find the next talented bunch of players for their team for many different years now. They have district things that they look for out of their next draft class, and the Combine puts those measurables and intangibles on display. - When talking to the media on Wednesday at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, Baltimore general manager Eric DeCosta spoke about how much the event is beneficial to him, talking about how the ability to meet with the players and finding out a bit more about who they are is a huge deal and greatly important. - “I think the access to the players is just critical for us; having a chance to meet with these guys, to really talk to them about their personalities and who they are, how they see themselves, their goals, their dreams. For us to get a chance to assess things like growth mindset, motivation, ability to overcome adversity, resiliency and things like that. For me, that’s the biggest thing. And then, of course, all the physical testing that we do. We found ways over the last couple of years, especially, to exist without the physical testing, but I think to see a guy workout and to see a guy compete against his peers, that’s something that helps us throughout the process.” - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Ravens Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Ravens Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
