Ravens host two NFL veterans for tryouts during rookie minicamp
The Baltimore Ravens are in the middle of their 2022 rookie minicamp, giving them a first-time up-close look at their newest draft class. However, among the rookies there were two NFL veterans showcasing their skills as they look to potentially establish a new home.
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh let it be known on Saturday that the team was hosting defensive lineman Marcell Dareus as well as wide receiver Geronimo Allison tryouts during their minicamp.
DT Marcell Dareus, a former first-round pick, and WR Geronimo Allison are among the tryouts at Ravens rookie minicamp, John Harbaugh told reporters.
Dareus last played in the NFL in 2019. Allison played 3 games for the Lions last season.

Dareus, a No. 3 overall pick out of Alabama, would bring depth to the Ravens’ defensive line that has seen Justin Ellis leave in free agency as well as Brandon Williams seemingly unlikely re-sign with the team. He last played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019. Through nine seasons, the defensive tackle has been selected to two Pro Bowls, has been named a First-Team All-Pro, notched 37.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumbles recovered and has 365 combined tackles in 121 games.
Allison went undrafted in 2016 and has plenty of experience in the NFL over the last five seasons, with four of those coming with a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. Through his career, the wide receiver has 1,045 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 89 receptions.
