The Ravens announced the signing of rookie defensive end Michael McAdoo on Tuesday.
In two seasons at North Carolina, McAdoo recorded 29 tackles (10 of which resulted in lost yardage) and 3½ sacks.
But the 6-foot-7, 245-pound McAdoo did not play in 2010 for North Carolina after the NCAA suspended 14 Tar Heels for accepting impermissible benefits from agents. He applied for the supplemental draft, but was not selected on Monday.McAdoo joins a crowded position that boasts starter Cory Redding, Arthur Jones and rookie Pernell McPhee, who was selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft in April.
To make room for McAdoo, the team placed cornerback Marcus Paschal on injured reserve. Paschal had not practiced since Aug. 16 due to an unspecified injury.
UPDATE: Coach John Harbaugh said that prior to the team's official announcement, McAdoo was en route to Baltimore to take a physical. "Don't know much about him," Harbaugh said. "I've heard good things about him. I know he got caught up with some situations at North Carolina, but he's supposed to be a good guy and a talented guy. So we're looking forward to seeing him here."
