Ravens made a huge mistake passing on Ronald Ollie, The Raiders sign the former Last Chance U star
The Baltimore Ravens had an opportunity to sign Ronald Ollie, but they pulled an offer to him after the NFL Draft. Did Ollie quit? NOPE, he kept grinding. He took what was available to him, and that was a workout with the Oakland Raiders.
Ollie went to the Raiders mini camp, and today he signed a deal.
Ronald Ollie, a former defensive tackle at the JUCO featured during the first two seasons of the Netflix series Last Chance U, has signed a contract with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent.
Ollie was not invited to the combine, but at his Pro Day, he ran a 4.87 40-yard dash and showcased a 35-inch vertical leap, both marks that would have been top 10 at his position at the combine. Are you kidding me? This kid is a freak. I am a huge fan and I should be as he attended Nicholls State. Listen this kid fought for everything he has, and he fought for this too. I just feel bad for the Ravens, because they had a chance at a stud.
