OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Keenan Reynolds foray into the NFL has overwhelmingly altered his perspective of the game.As a standout quarterback at Navy, Reynolds was revered in Annapolis. He ran for an NCAA-record 88 touchdowns, went 4-0 against Army and finished fifth in the 2015 Heisman Trophy balloting.However, his prowess at running the triple option is of no help in his quest to make the Baltimore Ravens. Fighting for a job as a backup receiver and special teams contributor, Reynolds is just another rookie buried deep on the depth chart.Its very humbling, he acknowledged. Im just trying to make the best of it.At Navy, Reynolds ran, handed off or threw the football. His job now is to catch it.I have a lot more respect for the position of wide receiver, he said, especially after being a quarterback.Despite being thrust into this unfamiliar role, Reynolds has no complaints. After all, most of his teammates at Navy who received their degree are now fulfilling a five-year military obligation.Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has allowed Reynolds to defer his military service to play in the NFL..I love football. I love being able to come out here competing every day, he said. There are a lot of guys who would love to be where Im at. Im just happy to put the helmet on every day, representing the Baltimore Ravens.Picked in the sixth round of the NFL draft, Reynolds knew he would have to transform himself to make with the Ravens. He worked for weeks with former pro Brian Mitchell, who amassed 4,999 yards and nine touchdowns returning over punts a 14-year career.This summer hes been tapping the knowledge of teammates Steve Smith and Mike Wallace, veteran receivers who have been happy to tutor the eager 22-year-old.I spent a half-hour working with Smitty on releases, and Mike is coaching me up every day, Reynolds said. They know what theyre doing. I try to soak in as much advice and wisdom as I can.On the day of the draft, Ravens coach John Harbaugh spoke glowingly about Reynolds athleticism. Nothing thats happened thus far has changed his mind.Its tough enough to advance to this level, even for first-round picks, Harbaugh said. Yet, here he is, going to a new level and playing a position that hes never played before in his life. I think its pretty admirable, and its pretty amazing hes playing as well as he is.He certainly has a ways to go. He knows that more than anybody. But its pretty amazing what he has accomplished.In the Ravens first two preseason games, Reynolds didnt catch a pass. The only punt he fielded resulted in a fair catch. But the 5-foot10, 190-pounder made two tackles on punt coverage against last weekend in Indianapolis.Those were the first two I had to make in my life, Reynolds said.If thats what it takes to make the team, so be it.He did a great job as a gunner. He ran the show, Ravens special teams coach Jerry Rosburg said. You know he can run the ball when he has it, and hes improving his catching skills. Positive progress.There may come a time when Reynolds will get to shine on the biggest stage in football. Until then, he will strive to impress the coaches in practice and in the latter stages of preseason games.When opportunities come by, you just take advantage of the ones you get, Reynolds said. Thats the way it is in this league. Im just grinding every day. Im never going to quit, never going to give up.If theres no room for Reynolds on the 53-man roster, he could be placed on the taxi squad. If that happens, his arrangement with the Naval Academy would enable him to stick around.Ive got that all cleaned up. If it doesnt work out, Im a reservist in the Navy so I dont have to go right back, he said. As long as Im under contract with an NFL team, Im allowed to play. But Im going to find a way to make it work.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Brice Butler Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Dennis Gardeck Jersey .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona. http://www.cheapcardinalsjerseyssale.com/?tag=benson-mayowa-jersey-sale . White came in fourth place in the event. He was the two-time defending gold medallist. The gold medal went to Swiss snowboarder Iouri Podladtchikov. Carson Palmer Jersey . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. Zeke Turner Jersey . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. Central Coast coach Paul Okon has declared that as one of the championship favourites, Sydney FC carry the burden of pressure going into Saturdays A-League meeting against his new-look Mariners.Despite Okon admitting team confidence was sky high on the back of the Mariners dramatic three-goal comeback against Perth last weekend, he was happy to point out that the Sky Blues 4-0 Sydney derby win brought with it a level of expectation, especially when facing last seasons wooden-spooners.In his maiden campaign in charge, Okon was more than happy for his unfancied side to fly under the radar.The pressure is not on us, the former Young Socceroos mentor said.No one really rates the Mariners, no one thinks the Mariners are any good.So we will travel to Sydney with confidence, well play our football the way we want to play, and once the whistle goes at the end of the game, see where were at.Okon and Sydney coach Graham Arnolds relationship stretches back to their days playing together for the Socceroos, and on different teams in the NSL and Belgium.It will be the first time the pair have coached against each other, though their exchanges in the lead-up have contained more pleasantries than Arnolds famed pre-match wind-ups.There hasnt been any taunting each other orr trying to see whos more nervous, Okon said.ddddddddddddIts all about everyone looking forward to the contest and preparing their own team.Former Sydney FC player Jacques Faty will be lucky to retain his starting spot after contributing to all Glorys three goals last weekend.Central Coast will also hope to have winger Fabio Ferreira (calf) back, though his replacement for the match against Glory, Trent Buhagier, was in sterling form flanking brace-scorer Roy ODonovan in tandem with left winger Connor Pain.Okon hadnt yet made a call on Ferreira on Friday, who is still regaining fitness.Whether he starts the game or comes off the bench, or just misses out because of what were looking for further on in the season is still yet to be decided, he said.We want to make sure that whichever starting XI goes out there we have everyone at 200 per cent.STATS THAT MATTER:* Central Coast are without a win in six A-League matches against Sydney (D1 L5)* The Mariners have not won in 11 matches since defeating Wellington in January* Sydney have won back-to-back matches and scored four goals in each, having previously gone winless in 11 attempts Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
