Rotowire
The Ravens signed Leary to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Leary was selected by the Ravens in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 218th overall. He was unable to beat out Josh Johnson for the backup quarterback role behind Lamar Jackson in training camp, but Leary stuck around on Baltimore's practice squad, where he spent the entire campaign. Leary will be on the Ravens' 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12. With a full offseason under his belt, Leary will attempt to earn the QB2 role behind Jackson for the 2025 campaign.

Ravens' Devin Leary: Hoping to back up Jackson
Rotowire
The Ravens selected Leary in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 218th overall.
Leary showed the ability to produce in both the ACC and SEC as the quarterback for NC State and Kentucky, respectively. His redshirt junior season with the Wolfpack was the best of his career, as he tossed 35 touchdowns and threw for 3,433 yards. Leary has good arm strength and should stick on a roster as a backup -- perhaps to Lamar Jackson -- though he had a concerning dip in accuracy in his final collegiate campaign for Kentucky (56.3 completion percentage).
