Baltimore Ravens sign undrafted center Nick Dawkins after 2026 NFL draft to bolster the O-line. Despite not selecting a successor for All-Pro Tyler Linderbaum with any of their 11 picks, GM Eric DeCosta acted quickly post-draft to add Dawkins, a two-year Penn State starter and team captain who was a Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year semifinalist. The acquisition aims to address centers the Ravens liked that went elsewhere in the draft and to provide immediate depth at the pivot position.
Key highlights:
– Nick Dawkins signs as an undrafted free agent with the Ravens after the 2026 draft.
– Dawkins is a Penn State product with notable leadership: two-year starter, team captain, and a collegiate Man of the Year semifinalist.
– The move aims to compensate for missed center targets in the draft and reinforce interior line depth.
