Myles Gaskin Makes Impressive Ravens Debut

In his exhibition debut with a new team, Myles Gaskin let the Baltimore Ravens know right away that he still has a lot to offer, coming up with multiple big-yardage plays in a 31-13 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas.

Baltimore signed Gaskin -- now wearing No. 38 rather than his trademark 37 -- on August 10 following a running-back tryout when the Ravens had multiple runners get injured or not produce like they wanted.

They had to be impressed by what they saw over the weekend in the 5-foot-10, 199-pound running back from Lynnwood, Washington, and the University of Washington.

The Huskies' all-time leading rusher returned a kickoff 31 yards midway through the third quarter, putting Baltimore on its own 32.

He brought another kickoff back 38 yards, setting up the Ravens on their 48-yard line with 13:09 left to play in the fourth quarter.

Showing plenty of toughness, Gaskin also caught a swing pass, zipped up the right sideline through heavy traffic, slammed into a Cowboys defender and put the other guy on his backside while supplying a 24-yard gainer to the Dallas 6.

His determined effort enabled the Ravens to score two plays later and push in front with a 28-13 lead.

For good measure, Gaskin came up with a 13-yard run among his seven carries for 20 yards rushing overall.
