LOOK: Shaun Wade officially signs rookie contract with Baltimore Ravens

As we get further and further removed from all the pomp and circumstance surrounding the 2021 NFL draft, we’ll start to see all of the former Ohio State football players that were selected officially sign their contracts. That day came for former Buckeye defensive back Shaun Wade on Wednesday.

Wade went into last year as a first-round graded cornerback, but the combination of a pandemic, injury, and falling short of high expectations on the field resulted in him slipping all the way down to the fifth round, where he was snatched up by the Baltimore Ravens.

And now, according to a tweet from the Ravens official Twitter account, it appears as though Wade has officially inked his rookie contract.

We’ll be rooting for Wade to fulfill those lofty expectations that were heaped upon him prior to this season. From what we’ve seen with the skill he possesses, there’s a good chance of that happening. If so, the Ravens may have gotten the steal of the draft.
