CBS Sports has Keaton Mitchell as under-the-radar star in 2025

by | Jun 10, 2025

Two weeks of OTAs for the Baltimore Ravens have again made a star out of East Carolina football alum Keaton Mitchell.

The running back has looked good in practices and has drawn comparisons to how he performed as a rookie before tearing his ACL in 2024. In fact, he even said he’s faster than he was before the injury.

CBSSports.com writer Tyler Sullivan recently wrote about an under-the-radar star for each team in the AFC. He has Mitchell as one to watch for the Ravens. He said in part, “Mitchell could prove to be a change-of-pace option with home run ability for what is already one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL.”
