Ravens announce signings of 17 undrafted free agents

The Ravens seem to find an undrafted free agent or two each year that winds up contributing that particular team.

Last year it was Marlon Brown. Jameel McClain and Bart Scott were once undrafted free agents too. On Monday, the Ravens officially announced that 17 undrafted free agents have signed contracts, meaning there's another chance for some to make their dreams come true unconventionally.

Here's the list:

Western Kentucky LB Xavius Boyd

Temple DT Levi Brown

Tennessee-Martin WR Jeremy Butler

Northern Colorado WR Jace Davis

Oklahoma State OT Parker Graham

Virginia Tech DT Derrick Hopkins

North Carolina OT James Hurst

Texas A&M CB Tramain Jacobs

Houston P Richie Leone

Ashland DT Jamie Meder

Albany State S Dexter Moody

North Carolina A&T CB Deji Olatoye

North Texas LB Zachary Orr

Utah State DT A.J. Pataiali'i

Oregon CB Avery Patterson

Middle Tennessee State CB Sammy Seamster

Iowa OT Brett Van Sloten

Of this group, the biggest steal could be North Carolina offensive tackle James Hurst. He was seen as an early-round pick before a broken leg late in the season. He could be someone that winds up on IR out of training camp if the injury lingers. But there's a ton of potential to be tapped with Hurst.
