Former, Current Ravens Players Condemn Team’s Strength Staff

After the NFLPA released “report cards” on every team in the league Wednesday, current and former Ravens players took to social media to discuss one of the team’s categories that received an abysmal grade: strength coaches.

Baltimore ranked 32nd in the NFL in the strength staff category, earning an F minus on the grading test that interviewed an estimated 1,300 players. Not only did three former players weigh in to discuss their experiences, but current wide receiver Rashod Bateman retweeted a post that criticized the strength and conditioning staff. 

It started with defensive tackle Carl Davis Jr., who retweeted the Ravens’ grades in all eight categories. The 31-year-old, Baltimore’s third-round selection in the 2015 draft, was on the team for three seasons—including the ’16 season when he spent the entire year on injured reserve with an ankle injury. However, Davis Jr. mentioned other injuries he apparently suffered while with the team.
