Baltimore Ravens TE Tyler Pezza has an opportunity in training camp and the preseason to prove he can function as a hybrid receiving option. He was listed as a wide receiver at Brown University, but the team lists him as a 6-foot-3, 234-pound rookie tight end. Even if he proves to be a solid in-line blocker, he must be able to show an ability to play the slot, cover kicks, etc. He has a shot at a roster spot if the team elects to keep four tight ends.
