Starting off the Anquan Boldin news conference, Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said this trade redeemed himself for not drafting Boldin in 2003.
"There's not too many times that you get a chance to recover from a mistake," Newsome said. "And I think I made a mistake in that draft, worrying [more] about measurables than worrying about the football player. And Anquan is a football player."
Boldin, who will wear No. 81, wanted to go to a team that has a chance to win a championship, plays defense, runs the ball and starts a young quarterback.
"I think Baltimore fits that to a tee," Boldin said.
