Chandler Rivers can take the Ravens' secondary to new heights
Rookie Chandler Rivers has allowed two catches on six targets, giving Baltimore another versatile option in its loaded secondary
Baltimore Ravens rookie defensive back Chandler Rivers has shown promising coverage skills during the preseason, allowing only two receptions and a 42.4 passer rating despite being targeted six times. Pro Football Hall of Fame Ambassador Steve Flack suggests that Rivers could become an important part of the Ravens' defense, potentially providing dependable coverage when the team uses additional defensive backs.
With his experience and production from college, Rivers, who was selected in the fifth round, could help the Ravens unlock their secondary's potential and offer defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver more flexibility in their dime packages.
