Training Camp Sleepers to Watch at Each Position
Like almost every other training camp of the past, many Ravens are assured to make the 53-man roster entering this year’s late summer workouts. Others, however, are far from guarantees.
Ravens Wire’s Glenny Erby outlined sleepers who could earn roster spots at each offensive position. Below are snippets from two positions:
Running back: Elijah Tau-Tolliver
“Tau-Tolliver is the running back sleeper to watch because Baltimore’s backfield has established names, but still has room for a young player to push for developmental value. The Ravens list Tau-Tolliver as a 6-foot, 204-pound rookie from Michigan State.
“Derrick Henry is the lead back, Justice Hill gives Baltimore experience and passing-down value, and Rasheen Ali is fighting to define his role. That makes Tau-Tolliver’s path difficult, but not impossible. His best chance is to show burst, ball security, special teams ability, and enough receiving value to make the coaching staff think twice.”
Wide receiver: Cornelius Johnson
“Johnson is the wide receiver sleeper because his size and college production give Baltimore something to evaluate in a crowded room. The Ravens signed Johnson to their practice squad in September 2025 after he spent his college career at Michigan, where he won a national championship and caught 138 passes for 2,038 yards and 14 touchdowns.
“Baltimore’s receiver room is difficult to crack. Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Ja’Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, and Devontez Walker all have strong roster cases, while several other receivers will compete for the final spots. Johnson has to stand out with size, blocking, contested catches, and special teams work.”
