The Ravens pointed out that they were ready to take a botter before the project, so the decision to select Tyler Loop in the sixth round was not surprising.
However, this has always led to questions for managing director Eric Decosta after the project. The longtime botter of Ravens Justin Tucker is the subject of a league investigation after several accusations of inappropriate conduct during massages and the status of this investigation was the subject of a question at the Decosta press conference.
Decosta said he had “periodically” updates, but there were no recents and that the team knows no calendar to provide them. Decosta also said that it was too early to think about the establishment of Loop Take Tucker.
“No, I didn’t really think about this stage,” said Decosta, via a team transcription. “I just thought that he was a truly talented player, and it was logical for us to do it for many different reasons. We told you several times this spring that we were watching the boots, and therefore, for us, it is like any other position this year. We evaluated all these guys, we had taken it as it was redable.
Loop’s performance once he has joined Ravens’ practices will join the League investigation as a determining factors to find out if Tucker continues to be the Baltimore botter.
