The Ravens, though, didn’t ever doubt that Loop had the talent to make kicks. He was the one kicker they had interest in drafting, the hand-picked choice of senior special teams coach and kicking guru Randy Brown after he had pre-draft workouts with the top kickers.

I’ve been around a lot of people,” Ravens holder Jordan Stout said of kicker Tyler Loop. “I think he has the biggest leg I’ve ever seen.”

Or maybe this is exactly what the Ravens wanted, in a way. This is just training camp, after all, and the team is evaluating its new kicker while replacing a longtime franchise cornerstone. Tyler Loop had a 56-yard field goal to tie it.
