It’s now or never for Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman. Selected with the 27th-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota product has yet to justify his early selection. While he’s had some moments of greatness, the injuries and an inability to climb the depth chart have ultimately limited Bateman throughout his short career. The wideout has yet to crack 600 yards in a single season, as he spent the entire 2023 season buried behind first-round pick Zay Flowers and veteran Odell Beckham.
