CHARLOTTE Youth Tavon Young Jersey , N.C. (AP) — am Newton to a “fast dinosaur” this week.“Muscular and big,” Weddle said. “He’s a very unique quarterback in the league, the only one really like him.”The Ravens’ defense ranks first in the league overall, but they’ve not faced a dual-threat quarterback such as Newton, which adds some intrigue to what should be a physical game Sunday between two teams that pride themselves on playing great defense and ball-control offense.Weddle said when Newton gets loose, bringing him down calls for a player to proceed at his own risk. He chose the Triceratops as the kind of dinosaur that best represents Newton.“The big one with horns,” Weddle said.Newton is the NFL’s all-time leader in touchdowns rushing by a quarterback and is third all-time in yards rushing with 4,577. He needs 352 yards to pass Randall Cunningham for second place. Mike Vick is No. 1 with 6,109 yards.“Amazing player, extremely difficult in the open field,” Weddle said of Newton.Newton laughed at Weddell’s compliment, saying it’s not the first time someone has called him that. The 2015 league MVP said Trooper Taylor, a former assistant at Auburn, used to call him that when he was playing for the Tigers.“I always asked him, ‘Why do you call me a dinosaur?'” Newton said. “He said, ‘Your talent is extinct. They don’t make them like you no more.’“I always laughed, but if you look around this league — and I’ve tried to warn a lot of people prior, too — it not cocky, it’s not confidence Stitched Brandon Carr Jersey , it’s just self-belief in yourself knowing that the talents that you possess, a lot of people can’t say that they have.”Newton has run for 252 yards and a team-high three touchdowns this season while averaging 4.9 yards per carry for Carolina (4-2). He’s also thrown for 11 TDs.Things to watch in Sunday’s game between the Ravens and Panthers:RUNNING ROOKIENewton won’t be the only quarterback on the field to be a threat to run.Rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson has proven effective as an occasional replacement for Joe Flacco in short-yardage situations for the Ravens (4-3). The former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round draft pick scored his first NFL touchdown last week and ranks second on the team with 103 yards rushing.Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly said Jackson “is a playmaker who creates problems because of his speed and athleticism” and that “it’s important to know where he is on the field.”Harbaugh often wrestles with finding the right time to use Jackson because Flacco is having such a good season with 11 touchdown passes and four interceptions.“It’s more an art than science,” Harbaugh said. “Joe is playing at a very high level. We don’t want to lose sight of that. We try to do the best we can to put both those guys in there in ways that help us score points and move the ball.”COVERING TIGHT ENDSThe Ravens drafted Hayden Hurst in the first round figuring he would play a major role on the offense, but a foot injury has limited him to one catch for 7 yards. Now rounding back into good health, he may have an opportunity to break out this week against a Carolina defense that has struggled covering tight ends.Carolina has allowed the sixth-most passing yards to tight ends in the NFL at 79.6 per game. Last week, Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert combined for eight receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown.Coach Ron Rivera said he was unconcerned with those numbers, adding that he feels as if the Panthers have done a good job against opposing wide receivers this year, which has been their focus. Rivera added that “I don’t think for the most part you’re going to get killed by tight ends.”STELLAR PASS RUSHERSSunday’s matchup features two stellar pass rushers with Carolina’s Julius Peppers and Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs. Peppers has 156½ sacks, which is fourth all-time and the most among active players. Suggs is 15th all-time with 131 sacks.“Those kinds of guys are just on a different level athletically,” Harbaugh said. “There aren’t very many of those types of human beings walking around on the planet.”CLOSE CALLSTwo of the Ravens’ losses this season have come by a combined four points. Cleveland won with a field goal in overtime, and the Saints prevailed when Justin Tucker misfired on a conversion with 24 seconds last week.So what’s it take to win those kinds of games?“You have to make a closing play somewhere along the way,” Harbaugh said.The Panthers seem to have that skill. Their past two wins were 33-31 over the Giants and 21-17 last week.EXTRA POINTSTucker’s extra point miss last week was big for the Ravens, but he’s not the only one struggling with the point after.Carolina’s Graham Gano has missed extra points in back-to-back weeks. Strangely enough, Gano is 8 of 8 on field-goal attempts, including a game-winner from 63 yards against the Giants. Another day full of picks, picks, and more picks.

Let’s break it down. EDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Draft: Grading every AFC North pick from Rounds 2 & 3 Chuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsThe first round of the NFL draft tends to make all the headlines, but it’s rounds two and three where teams really make their mark and fill multiple roster needs. This was the case for the Ravens, Steelers, Browns, and Bengals, all of which were extremely active on Friday night. There was a total of six picks within the AFC North in the second and third rounds, with each of the four teams making two selections. Cleveland finally got in the action after not having a first-round pick, while Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh continued to add talent. How did each team fare with their selections? Check out some grades below and be sure to share your thoughts. Also, stay tuned for more grades to come tomorrow! Cleveland Browns Pick #46, Round 2: Greedy Williams, CB (LSU)Power moves only. After seeing the Ravens select Marquise Brown in the first round, the Browns traded up three spots to select Greedy Williams, who, in my estimation, is the best overall corner in this draft. Williams isn’t a very good tackler but in terms of covering opposing receivers, he has all the tools to be successful. Williams is 6’2”, ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at the combine and has great length. John Dorsey got incredible value here. Grade: A+ Pick #80 Stitched Tony Jefferson Jersey , Round 3: Sione Takitaki, LB (BYU) This might be a bit of a reach, as Sione Takitaki was projected by many to go somewhere between rounds 4-6. Much like his name, Takitaki’s effort level is above-average and he possesses good size for the position (6’1”, 238 IBS). His spotty coverage/tackling ability and lack of elite athleticism makes him hard to project at the next level, however. He’s also run-ins with issues off the field despite being a team captain at BYU. At the very least, Takitaki plays extremely hard and will carve out a role on special teams.Grade: C+ Baltimore Ravens Pick #85, Round 3: Jaylon Ferguson, EDGE (Louisiana Tech) Many wanted the Ravens to trade into the second round or acquire an early third-round pick to address one of their biggest needs: pass-rusher. Instead, they stood pat and landed a prospect many thought would be off the board in the second round, Jaylon Ferguson. The NCCA’s all-time leader in sacks, Ferguson wreaked havoc at Louisiana Tech and as we’ve seen in the past, the Ravens love pass-rushers who were productive in college. Ferguson is a solid athlete with good technique. Getting him here is great value and fills a huge position of need. Grade: A- Pick #93, Round 3: Miles Boykin, WR (Notre Dame) As many expected, the Ravens double dipped at the wide receiver position by trading up for Miles Boykin in the second-half of the third round. In doing so, they swapped picks with the Minnesota Vikings (No. 103 for No. 93) and attached two additional late-round selections (No. 191 & No. 193). It’s hard to knock them for this move. Boykin is 6’4” and ran a 4.42 40-yard dash time at the combine. He’s a well-rounded receiver with above-average blocking ability, and his ability to make contested catches is an ideal complement to Marquise Brown. Grade: B+ Cincinnati Bengals Pick #52, Round 2: Drew Sample Youth Tony Jefferson Jersey , TE (Washington) This one is a bit of a head-scratcher. The Bengals just re-signed Tyler Eifert to a one-year deal and also have C.J. Uzomah on the roster. Eifert is coming off a gruesome leg injury and can’t seem to ever stay healthy, though, and Uzomah isn’t exactly the most ideal option. Drafting a tight end is a need for Cincinnati, but selecting Drew Sample here isn’t very good value. Sample is more of a blocking tight end than a pass-catcher and while the Bengals need a good blocker at the position in Zac Taylor’s scheme, but they didn’t need to exhaust the 52nd pick on one. Grade: C- Pick #72, Round 3: Germaine Pratt, LB (N.C. State) The Bengals have needed some help in the second level of their defense for quite some time, especially after their D was historically bad in 2018-19. Landing Germaine Pratt here in the third round is a great step in the right direction. Pratt is rangy and possesses legitimate sideline-to-sideline speed. He has experience playing safety, too, which is always a plus. Cincinnati gets good value here while addressing a roster need.Grade: B+Pittsburgh Steelers Pick #66, Round 3: Diontae Johnson, WR (Toledo) The Steelers needed to find another wide receiver with Antonio Brown no longer in the picture, and they grabbed a very Brown-esque player here early in the third round. Like Brown, Diontae Johnson is an agile and shifty receiver with great hands. He’s not the fastest player at the position but compensates with superb route-running ability. Pittsburgh seems to be capable of turning any wideout into a productive player and Johnson figures to be yet another solid playmaker for them. Grade: B+ Pick #83, Round 3: Justin Layne, CB (Michigan St.) Like Greedy Williams, Justin Layne is a cornerback prospect who shouldn’t have slid as far as did. The Steelers need secondary help and Layne will provide it, both by making an impact in the short-term and serving as Joe Haden’s replacement. Layne is fundamentally sound and has good ball skills. Great pick here in the middle of the third round for Pittsburgh. Grade: A
