| Terrence Cody | Given New Nickname | ||||

Terrence Cody had plenty of motivation for getting onto the practice field at Ravens training camp. The rookie had already been given the nickname "Cheeseburger" by fellow defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. National experts began to question the organization’s decision to spend a second-round draft pick on Cody after he failed his conditioning test and was forced to watch Tuesday’s practices. And Cody had to explain his failed test when family members began calling him. With that as a backdrop, Cody tackled the conditioning test on a practice field at McDaniel College in Westminster again Wednesday morning and passed. — Baltimore Sun Franek’s Take: What a terrible start to the season for the Ravens who have high hopes this season after adding the playmaking wide receiver Anquan Boldin to their suddenly potent offense. After fellow second round pick Sergio Kindle fractured his skull after falling down two flights of stairs, they now have to deal with an out-of-shape Cody. Once again the Ravens took a gamble (their second “chance” pick of the draft) on Cody even after there were red flags on his motor and conditioning heading into the 2010 draft. He was drafted to help bolster the defensive line and be a huge stopgap in their rush defense. If he can manage to not literally eat his way out of the league then he will likely do just that, as he is not a dominant pass rushing tackle. Follow us on Twitter @NFLDraftBible  Trackback(0)
