Steve Bisciotti Makes First Ravens Draft Pick, Selecting Clemson RB Adam Randall at No. 174

The rare owner-made call adds a versatile, converted receiver to Baltimore's backfield behind Derrick Henry.

Overview

  • General manager Eric DeCosta said Saturday the fifth-round choice at No. 174 was Bisciotti’s first-ever pick after he asked for a selection and did his own scouting.
  • Clemson’s Adam Randall switched from wideout to tailback in 2025 and posted 814 rushing yards with 10 touchdowns plus 36 catches for 254 yards.
  • Listed at 6-foot-3 and 232 pounds with a 4.5-second 40-yard dash, Randall brings receiving skills and kickoff-return value after averaging about 23 yards per return in college.
  • He joins a depth chart led by Derrick Henry with Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali, and he will compete for third-down snaps, special teams work, and return duties.
  • Reports note a college injury history that includes a torn ACL, broken bones in both hands, and a foot fracture that required surgery, even as coaches and the GM praised his upside and makeup.
