Long shots

-

Quincy Adeboyejo: A troublesom­e leg injury last year kept the former Mississipp­i standout, who signed as an undrafted free agent in 2017, on the physically-unable-toperform list last year. After surgery in May 2018, he expected to return to action four or five months later. That timeline never panned out, and he wasn’t cleared until this past May. To make the roster or rejoin the practice squad, he’ll need to show he hasn’t lost a step.

Joe Horn Jr.: The son of four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Joe Horn was signed after impressing at the Ravens’ rookie minicamp. Like his famous father, the 5-10 Horn has taken an unconventi­onal path to the NFL: After starting his career at Northeast Mississipp­i Community College, he seemingly missed two seasons before moving on to Division II Missouri Western, where he had 15 catches for 246 yards.

Sean Modster: The undrafted free agent had 68 catches for 978 yards and eight touchdowns last season for Boise State, good for second-team All-Mountain West Conference honors. The 5-11 Modster has impressed cornerback Tavon Young with his all-around skills in the slot, but his athletic deficienci­es might be magnified when practice at training camp intensifie­s.

Jaylen Smith: The undrafted free agent’s production at Louisville dropped off after Lamar Jackson’s exit, falling from 980 receiving yards in 2017 to 550 last season. The 6-2 Smith was mostly anonymous throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp.

Antoine Wesley: The undrafted free agent finished third in the Football Bowl Subdivisio­n in receiving yards (1,410) and 11th in receptions (88) for pass-happy Texas Tech last season. Wesley showed good hands and crafty routes during offseason workouts, but his lackluster explosiven­ess, even at 6-4, could hold him back.
