Ravens Sign Former Steelers CB

The Baltimore Ravens have brought in a former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback before the final week of the preseason.

On Monday, the Ravens announced that they signed Thomas Graham Jr. after a pair of sixth-round rookies at the position in Robert Longerbeam and Bilhal Kone sustained season-ending injuries. Graham is currently listed as a fourth-stringer on the team's depth chart.

He spent his entire collegiate career at the University of Oregon, signing as a member of the program's 2017 recruiting class.

As a true freshman, Graham appeared in 13 games and started 12 of them while logging a total of 62 tackles, three interceptions and a fumble recovery as the Ducks finished with a 7-6 record.

He started all 13 contests as a sophomore in 2018 and tied for the third-most pass breakups in the country with 18. Graham recorded 56 tackles and three interceptions, including a pick-six, while also being named to the AP Pac-12 All-Conference second team while Oregon went 9-4.

During his junior campaign in 2019, Graham started 14 games and put up 64 tackles to go alongside tw o interceptions and a forced fumble. He received PFF All-Pac-12 honors as the Ducks compiled a 12-2 record and won the conference.

Graham opted out of the 2020 season and instead declared for the 2021 NFL Draft. After participating in the Senior Bowl, the Chicago Bears selected him in the sixth round with the No. 228 overall pick.

He played in four games as a rookie, posting 13 tackles and four passes defended. Graham didn't make Chicago's 53-man roster in 2022, however, and he re-signed to the team's practice squad after going unclaimed on waivers.
