Ravens' 6th-round QB McSorley may play offense, defense, special teams

It appears the Baltimore Ravens have big plans for rookie quarterback Trace McSorley.

General manager Eric DeCosta believes the sixth-round pick's greatest strength is his versatility and said McSorley could see time in all three phases of the game.

"I think he's a football player and everything that entails," DeCosta said, according to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith.

"His skill set is varied and multiple. He's fast, he's strong, he's tough, he's a playmaker, he's a football player. We've seen teams - for instance the New Orleans Saints with Taysom Hill - we've seen other teams find ways to play with players like this and they can help you win football games. He fits our defense, he fits our offense, he fits special teams."

McSorley, who holds most of the quarterback records at Penn State, was asked to participate in defensive back drills during the combine in February and could be used at safety in certain packages.

The Saints don't use Hill on defense, but he's an excellent special-teams player and a unique offensive weapon who lines up at multiple positions.
