On the eve of Ravens organized team activities, running back Justin Forsett dropped a bombshell announcement Monday night, one that could change the very paradigm through which we view the team's impending running back competition.
His cousin, he said, is on "The Bachelorette."
Meet Christian. He's a 26-year-old telecom consultant who wakes up at 3:30 every morning to work out. He wants to be a role model for his two younger brothers, who live with him. He loves adventurous dates. He hates pretentious dates. He has encountered racism in his own family, having grown up with a black mother and a white father. His muscles are big and his smile is gleaming.
You could say he's a ... good Christian. Definitely good enough for JoJo.
With Jonas Shaffer having seen all of one episode from the "Bachelor" universe, resident Baltimore Sun "Bachelor" scholar Matt Bracken offered his thoughts on Christian's chances:
"Everyone this season is probably playing second fiddle to ex-Vanderbilt QB Jordan Rodgers, who follows Josh Murray and Charlie O'Connell in the grand 'Bachelor' tradition of casting less famous brothers. Aaron's bro got the first-impression rose and featured prominently on the season preview. He's a lock for a hometown date and will very likely win the honor of dating JoJo for a couple months and appearing on seven Us Weekly covers.
