The Baltimore Ravens are locking in their 2025 rookie class with impressive efficiency, signing fourth-round cornerback Chandler Rivers and sixth-round punter Ryan Eckley to their first NFL contracts. With these latest additions, the Ravens have now inked six of their 11 total draft selections, leaving just three unsigned as rookie minicamp approaches.

Rivers, a versatile defensive back, brings the kind of coverage instincts and ball skills that have become a hallmark of Baltimore's secondary. He'll compete for snaps in a defensive backfield that values adaptability and playmaking. Eckley, meanwhile, steps into the punting competition with a chance to solidify a critical special teams role for years to come.

The remaining unsigned draft picks are second-round outside linebacker Zion Young, third-round wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, and seventh-round defensive lineman Rayshaun Benny. All three are expected to finalize their deals shortly, allowing the full rookie class to hit the ground running at minicamp.

Earlier this week, the Ravens also signed fourth-round tight end Matthew Hibner, fifth-round tight end Josh Cuevas, fifth-round running back Adam Randall, and seventh-round offensive lineman Evan Beerntsen. Those deals followed the previously signed rookies Vega Ioane and Elijah Surratt, keeping Baltimore's front office on its traditional fast track to getting players under contract.

For Ravens fans, this steady stream of signings signals a seamless transition from draft day to development mode. With training camp on the horizon, the organization's disciplined approach ensures that every rookie can focus on what matters most: competing, learning, and earning their stripes in purple and black.
