Farooq, a transfer from Oklahoma, plays with a physical edge and has shown he can work through contact and pick up tough yards underneath. He profiles as a possession-type target who could find a role if he proves reliable in camp.
Smith Jr. offers more big-play ability. He’s a vertical threat who can stretch the field and create explosive plays, something Baltimore has continued to emphasize offensively around Lamar Jackson. As with any UDFA, nothing is guaranteed. But the Ravens value versatility and special teams contributions, and both Farooq and Smith Jr. will have a legitimate opportunity to make their case during training camp.
