Nice story about how Malik decided to sign with Baltimore and their plan for him.
In short, they agreed to develop him as a QB and not a WR.
After the Ravens told him that their plan was to develop him as a quarterback and not a wide receiver hybrid, which the Patriots were using him as, he was sold right then and there.
“When he told me that, I was all ears,” Cunningham said via the team website. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m sliding. I ain’t going to stay.’”
The two of them were teammates for Jackson’s final year in college in 2017 when he was just a redshirt freshman. Cunningham is happy to be reunited with his mentor and role model at the professional level.
“I learned a lot from him, how to be a quarterback on and off the field, take advantage of what defenses give you,” Cunningham said. “The relationship we’ve built over the last seven, eight years it’s been crazy. I’m just happy to have him in my corner and now he’s my quarterback. It’s crazy.”
