Every pre-draft cycle, there are less-heralded prospects who get overlooked and slept on despite coming from prominent college programs. Some don’t even get invited to the annual NFL Scouting Combine. While that event is the most high-profile opportunity to put their athleticism on display for talent evaluators and executives, it isn’t the only one where the Baltimore Ravens can get a closer look at players.<\/p>\n

It is Pro Day season, and according to a report from the\u00a0Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Ravens are interested in Rutgers cornerback Eric Rogers, who turned some heads and boosted his stock with an impressive showing at the Scarlet Knights’ showcase.<\/p>\n

Rogers produced an elite mark in the three-cone drill with a 6.84, which would have ranked second among all corners and ninth overall among all positions at the Combine. His broad jump of 10-foot-3 would’ve tied him with Texas All-American and projected first-round pick, Jahdae Barron, for the eighth-best mark among corners at the Combine as well.<\/p>\n

The Ravens were one of three teams that interviewed him, with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Chargers being the others. He was also invited to participate in the local Pro Days for the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants.<\/p>\n

After spending the first three years of his collegiate career at Northern Illinois, Rogers transferred to Rutgers for the final two. He is coming off a strong senior season in which he recorded career-highs in total tackles (34) and forced fumbles (two) to go along with his first career sack, three pass breakups and an interception that he returned for his lone career touchdown for the first points of the Scarlet Knights’ nonconference matchup against Howard to open the season.<\/p>\n
