Baltimore Ravens select Jermaine Eluemunor in fifth round of NFL draft
The Baltimore Ravens selected Texas A&M offensive lineman Jermaine Eleumunor with the 15th pick in the fifth round. Eleumunor, who arrived at Texas A&M as a junior college transfer, was generally acknowledged as perhaps the strongest player on the A&M roster in 2016.
That appeared to be reinforced when he registered 34 reps in the 225-pound bench press at the NFL combine. He also ran a respectable 5.22 40-yard dash.
Last season Eleumunor shifted from guard to right tackle where he made the majority of the starts. In his only season as a starter, Eleumunor struggled some in pass protection, but he is a solid run blocker. That hints he may be a better fit at guard in the NFL.
He’s tough and intelligent and has nice upside potential.
