Why would I have an undrafted rookie free agent in the mix? The Ravens gave him a $10,000 signing bonus, the highest of all their rookie free agents. That means they see something in the Gaithersburg, Md. resident.

Jarell Broxton was a name that many felt would go in the later rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft after helping lead the Bears to the nation’s No. 2-ranked rushing offense. He somehow slipped out of the draft, and the Ravens made him a priority to sign.

Will he realistically have a chance at being the starter? Probably not, but we have seen undrafted offensive linemen have success in the NFL. Broxton is a name to keep an eye on as he could take a roster spot and cost someone else on this list a job in Baltimore.
