\n WR Devontez Walker<\/p>\n
Walker has needed patience over his first two seasons, but the wait may be over.<\/p>\n
His first three NFL catches all went for touchdowns, including two in Week 2 versus the Cleveland Browns last year. But after that game, Walker only saw four targets over the next nine games. He ended on a high note, however, catching a 38-yard touchdown in Pittsburgh in the regular-season finale.<\/p>\n
With DeAndre Hopkins still on the free-agent market and Tylan Wallace in Cleveland, the Ravens’ No. 3 receiver spot is wide open. The Ravens could still draft a wide receiver early or sign a veteran. But for now, Walker is the clear favorite.<\/p>\n
“Oh, Tez is ready. Tez is going to step up this year,” wide receiver Zay Flowers said.<\/p>\n
Flowers said Walker is “willing to learn everything” this season.<\/p>\n
“He’s attacking everything,” Flowers said. “He knows there’s a fire under him. We have to go now. You’re up.”<\/p>\n
Walker has rare speed and the ability to stretch the field, which should be a good fit in Declan Doyle’s explosive offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WR Devontez Walker Walker has needed patience over his first two seasons, but the wait may be over.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":574399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[116051,257,11179,17263,68215,17262,349,11178,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-574398","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-devontez-walker","9":"tag-general","10":"tag-homepage-centerpiece","11":"tag-inline-news","12":"tag-malaki-starks","13":"tag-mike-green","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-ryan-mink","16":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=574398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/574399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=574398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=574398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=574398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
