The Baltimore Ravens, of Maryland, have a long-standing ability to develop linebackers, no matter their drafted or undrafted position. When Ozzie Newsome, the General Manager of the Ravens reached out to Ian Bavitz for a tryout, he was understandably thrilled at the opportunity.
Bavitz scheduled the try-out awaited impatiently for his chance to walk the same halls some of the greatest linebackers of all time have walked. He arrived early for his workout, preferring to scope out the place a little bit before going in. He watched the NFL players going through their morning workouts, looking for even the smallest of hints on how he could elevate his game to the next level.
His try-out began, and he went into it with dogged determination. After several drills and conditioning tests, the coaches stopped him and offered him lunch in the team cafeteria. They told him to go ahead and chat with the guys, the coaches and front-office needed some time to discuss the workout.
Much like a reality television competition, Bavitz could hardly contain his anxiety as he awaited word from the coaches. He hurriedly ate his lunch and chatted with some of the players, nervously glancing up at the closed doors he had seen the coaches retire to.
After what seemed an eternity, the motioned him in to join them. The team was thoroughly impressed with his workout, but simply had too many linebackers already on the team. They thanked him for his time and told him that they'd be the first they call if the injury-bug hit their linebacking corps.
Bavitz left Baltimore, having not been placed on the roster, but he was excited that he had the opportunity to try out and felt it went well. He'll return to the Otters with renewed determination to up his game.
