Kone

It’s reportedly a torn ACL and MCL. It’s an awful development for the No. 178 overall pick. Already 23 years old, Kone will now redshirt on injured reserve instead of special teams or the practice squad. He will be on the outside looking in of the 2026 53-man roster as he deals with a new crop of draft picks and UDFAs trying to claim the Ravens’ final few openings.

Kone’s (6'1"/190) winding JUCO-to-MAC journey forged a battle-tested perimeter corner who plays with a chip on his shoulder and a fearless mentality. With good length (30.88” arms) and speed (4.43 forty), Kone has the physical makeup teams covet, and his 70-tackle, nine pass breakups senior season proved he’s not shy about contact. He thrives in zone looks, where his instincts and ball-tracking shine, racking up 21 PBUs and 3 INTs over the past three seasons. Despite his 7.80 RAS, some testing red flags—particularly a poor vertical (31.5-inch) and shuttle (4.37)—show up in his transitions and recovery quickness. He can get grabby at the top of routes and leans too heavily on side-saddle technique, which limits his man coverage viability. Still, he plays hard, tackles well, and has the demeanor of a core special teamer with CB4 upside in zone-heavy schemes.
