The Baltimore Ravens reported in USA Today that they signed their first round draft choice.
Haloti Ngata, the Ravens’ first round pick, signed his five-year, $11.9 million contract after a one-day holdout and jumped immediately into the starting lineup for one of the NFL’s most dominating defenses.
The guaranteed portion of the contract is 9.275 million. Usually NFL contracts have very little in the way of a guarantee portion, unless you are a star. Haloti is just a rookie. He is a 340 pound tackle.
It seems that at Oregon, Haloti had a problem with taking plays off. The Ravens believe they can teach him to be accountable to play hard every down.
Draft Daddy had these stats
Etuini Haloti Moala Ngata – 6’5, 338 pound Defensive Tackle – US born Tongan – Salt Lake City, Utah. 40-time: 4.85 (est), Power Clean: 385, Bench Press: 485, Squat: 585.
Fan Question Is there any way that the Ravens defense can be better than last year? Can Haloti make the difference?
