The Ravens report card, which appears in The Baltimore Sun after every game, usually draws a lot of comments. But on Monday, I received special commentary.
Below is a report card on the Ravens loss to the Kansas City Chiefs submitted by 9-year-old Gregory Small Jr. He also posted a comment or two next to some positions.
The kid has a future.
