Maryland star wide receiver Stefon Diggs is participating in the Ravens' local prospect at team headquarters today, according to sources.

Diggs has visited the Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers and has met with the New England Patriots. Patriots coach Bill Belichick and vice president of player personnel Nick Caserio attended the Terps' Pro Day workout.

The Ravens are in the market for a wide receiver after Torrey Smith signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the San Francisco 49ers this offseason.

Diggs declared for the NFL draft after his junior season with the Terps. In his college career, he had 150 receptions for 2,227 yards and 14 touchdowns.

The former blue-chip recruit from Good Counsel ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds during the combine. Diggs' time was nearly as fast as New York Giants standout wide receiver Odell Beckham's 4.43 last year at the combine.

Diggs also had a 35-inch vertical leap. The 6-foot, 195-pounder had a 4.11 in the short shuttle, an 11.46 60-yard shuttle and bench pressed 225 pounds 11 times.

Diggs has been rated as a third-round draft target by analysts, but the fast time could boost his stock into second-round consideration.

Diggs led Maryland with 62 catches for 792 yards and five touchdowns last season and was named to the All-Big Ten Conference second team despite suffering a lacerated kidney that sidelined him for two games before he returned for a bowl game against Stanford.

Diggs was a second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference kick returner selection as a freshman. As a freshman, Diggs had 1,896 all-purpose yards.
