Tweet

The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a three-year deal with rookie sixth-round offensive tackle Ramon Harewood that includes a $74,171 signing bonus, according to a league source.

The total base value of the deal is $1.289 million and includes the standard base salaries of $320,000, $405,000 and $490,000.

Harewood grew up in Barbados, playing rugby, cricket, volleyball and soccer. He's the first NFL player from Barbados.

Harewood has fully recovered from a knee injury suffered in early May where he suffered soft-tissue damage.

He's expected to be ready for training camp.

Drafted out of Morehouse, the 6-foot-6, 341-pounder was a physics and engineering major who attended college on an academic scholarship.

Despite his size, Harewood has run the 40-yard dash in the 5.0 to 5.1 range. He has bench pressed 225 pounds 24 times and has posted a 9-3 broad jump.

Harewood declined the offer of an athletic scholarship because he didn’t want to cost a teammate their scholarship.

Harewood played in the Texas vs. the Nation all-star game, lining up at tackle and guard.

He was a three-time all-conference selection despite his limited football background.
