Beau Brade got from the muscle, going from a local undrafted free agent product to the Ravens’ 53-man roster and a potential role on a championship-caliber defense.
Brade can fill the alley on run plays or rush the quarterback as a Blitzer, and as the rookie prepares for a trip to Kansas City to face the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs, he’s switching jersey numbers.
Damarion Williams was waived, and after re-signing to the practice squad, Brade will move from No. 6 to No. 24.
Brade had an outstanding preseason, leading the Ravens in tackles with 19 total. The former Maryland Terrapins safety is also a homegrown story. He grew up in Clarksville, MD, and attended River Hill High School.
