Ravens | Figurs on the roster bubble? Sun Jul 26, 03:24 PM
Jamison Hensley, from the Baltimore Sun, notes that Figurs - the 2007 third-round pick - watched the Ravens add two returners, Chris Carr and Lardarius Webb, this offseason. Figurs is also rarely mentioned by coaches when talking about the wide receiver position. It appears Figurs has to find a way to get noticed in this camp if he wants to stay with the Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Carr is one of steadiest return specialists in the league, and Webb was an explosive return man at Nicholls State. Figurs has never lived up to his draft pick, so it won't be shocking if this is the end of the line for him in Baltimore. |
