The days are getting closer until the Baltimore Ravens hit the field again. While we wait out the summer, we are counting down the roster to find out which players will have the best chance to make the team and then which players will impact games the most.
We are into the top 50 and getting really close to the halfway point of our 90-man countdown. Today, we focus on number 47, Kyu Blu Kelly.
Kyu Blu Kelly is a fifth-round pick from Stanford entering his first NFL season. While we just covered Jalyn Armour-Davis, who left college with 699 snaps, Kyu Blu Kelly left school with 2,335 snaps played, showing that he has a lot of experience and can come in and immediately compete for a roster spot.
Still, Kelly fell to round five for a reason. He has length and speed, but his hips can get tight, and he is best sticking to one side and using the boundary to help him. He also will not be asked to play the slot. This is fine, but it does limit his NFL upside.
Considering he is a rookie, and the team spent a draft pick on him, you can assume he will make the roster. He is inside the top 53 in our rankings as well. Still, at 47, it is at least acknowledged that the expectations are not too high in year one.
Rock Ya-Sin will start on the outside, and he will be competing for the top outside spot. Still, with Trayvon Mullen, Armour-Davis, and even someone like Daryl Worley competing, he could be anything from the top backup to third or fourth.
One issue with Kelly is that because of all of the starting experience, he is a completely unknown from a special teams perspective. Now, as he enters training camp, you can argue the best path for him to be active on gamedays is special teams.

The chances of him making the roster feel high, but the chances of him staying active on gameday are pretty up in the air as we stand right now. The rookie needs a big summer with the Baltimore Ravens.
If you're watching a Baltimore Ravens game and you hear the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium singing Singing Nation Army by The White Stripes after big stops, touchdowns or huge moments, and you want to know why they do it?
Outside of his mistakes in the AFC Championship game, Flowers showed that his game translates well to the NFL and he could end up being a star in this league. Baltimore knocked this one out of the park.
These factors all indicate that the Ravens have acquired some well-known supporters over the years. Michael Phelps, the most successful and decorated Olympian of all time, and former NBA player Carmelo Anthony are two such fans.
Once again, the Ravens walked away with a strong draft class after letting players fall right into their laps. They started things off with Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins and doubled back at the position with a potential huge steal by grabbing Iowa State cornerback T.J.
The oldest player on the roster is, of course, punter Sam Koch. The 38-year-old will be entering his 16th NFL season in 2021 and will turn 39 before Week 1. Justin Tucker also raises the total of 30-year-old on the roster at the age of 31.
As the unofficial song of the Baltimore Ravens, chants of “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes can be heard across the city of Baltimore on game day. That is followed by the fans screaming “O” during every national anthem.
Since 1998, Baltimore played the "Ravens Fight Song," an anthem penned by John Modell, then a Ravens Vice President and son of previous team owner Art Modell.
The title of the song comes from when Jack White, as a young child in Detroit, misheard "The Salvation Army" as "The Seven Nation Army". The song is driven by a riff that resembles the sound of a bass guitar.
