Career Contextualization

Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL) was selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens after an uber-productive college career. The highly-touted prospect’s 35% career dominator rating ranked No. 1 in his class among receivers from the FBS. The former Golden Gopher also led the nation in yards per route run (3.6) and was PFF’s eighth-highest graded receiver (89.2) from an out-wide alignment during his epic sophomore season.

The impressive stats were enough to convince the Ravens to draft him 27th overall as the fifth WR off the board.

But Bateman would not get the chance to make an immediate impact after undergoing a groin injury. He missed the first five weeks of his rookie season before making his season debut. The 6-foot-2 and 210-pound receiver compiled at least 50 receiving yards in his next three games, reaching 80 in two of them.
