Jaguars | Travis Etienne taking WR reps

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne will take all of his rookie minicamp repetitions at wide receiver, Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer said Saturday, May 15. ‘Worst-case scenario you have a running back that’s elite with receiver skills,’ Meyer said.

Footballguys View: Etienne had 588 receiving yards in 2020, the most of any running back in the FBS. He’s a dynamic runner who can make defenders miss with speed and balance. Etienne has big-play ability and can pick up chunk yards in a hurry. The Jaguars have James Robinson as a lead back, but Etienne will work his way into the mix – either as a running back or receiver.

Ravens | Rashod Bateman draws praise

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman’s showing in the team’s rookie minicamp so far drew praise from head coach John Harbaugh on Saturday, May 15. ‘Impressions are very positive,’ Harbaugh said during a news conference. ‘He’s a no-nonsense guy, has a nice demeanor about him. He’s a quick learner. He’s everything we thought he would be in terms of the athleticism, the skillset. That’s usually the case, but not always the case. What you see is not always what you get. You don’t know until you get them out there, in really the first rookie minicamp. And I would say that he is as advertised from a talent standpoint.’
