CHICAGO, Illinois -- The Ravens didn't hide their interest in Tennessee State offensive guard Robert Myers.

They met with him at the Senior Bowl and at the NFL scouting combine. Myers visited their team facility in Owings Mills and also had a private workout with Ravens offensive line coach Juan Castillo.

When they were on the clock with the 176th overall pick in the draft and their second selection in the fifth round, the Ravens selected the 6-foot-5, 329-pound guard.

Myers was a three-year starter at the school, and a two-time All-Conference selection. He is a late bloomer as Myers didn't start playing football until he was a junior in high school.

Myers is known as a mauler who plays with nastiness. However, he tends to struggle to maintain his technique.
