WR Deon Cain Is an 'Intriguing Prospect'
Signing wide receiver Deon Cain to a Reserve/Future contract in late January is an under-the-radar move that could potentially help boost the Ravens' passing game, Sports Illustrated's Todd Karpovich wrote.
Cain, a 2018 sixth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts, spent the past two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He caught five passes for 72 yards in six games in 2019, then spent much of the 2020 season on Pittsburgh's practice squad.
"He's an intriguing prospect heading into offseason workouts and training camp," Karpovich wrote. "At 6-foot-2, 202 pounds, he has solid size to match up with cornerbacks. … Cain has drawn comparisons to veteran wide receiver Kenny Stills."
Cain was a star at Clemson, where he caught 20 touchdown passes over three seasons and was a member of the Tigers' 2016 national championship team.
"Some draft analysts expected Cain to be taken in the second or third round of the NFL Draft," Karpovich wrote.
Cain suffered a torn ACL at the end of a strong rookie training camp, but Colts Head Coach Frank Reich said at the time that "we know we've got something special in Deon Cain."
Cain will have a tough battle for a roster spot in a receiver room that includes Marquise "Hollywood' Brown, Watkins, Miles Boykin, Devin Duvernay, James Proche II and any Ravens draft pick, but he's a player to watch.
