May 13, 2008 Ray Rice is working to be the primary backup behind starter Willis McGahee in Baltimore, and is also going to be involved on third downs, according to the Carroll County Times. He is learning the Ravens' playbook quickly, and is also pleasing the team with his speed and ability to change direction in the open field. GM Ozzie Newsome also commented, "We like the way he runs. He has a very low center of gravity, so he doesnt take a lot of hits. He mainly delivers a blow instead of taking a blow."
April 27, 2008 The Baltimore Ravens selected Ray Rice with the 55th overall pick in the draft on Saturday. The Big East first-teamer has his critics (lack of size and speed), but so did plenty of NFL All Pro's when they were drafted. Rice is a dual threat out of the backfield and he's best described as a "baller."
