The Baltimore Ravens have added a fresh dimension to their offensive and special teams lineup by signing former Buffalo Bills wide receiver and punt returner Deontay Harty. This move, announced by the team, brings Harty back to his hometown, making it a seamless transition for the 26-year-old who hails from Baltimore. In his previous season with the Bills, Harty showcased his versatility, contributing 150 receiving yards and a touchdown on 15 catches and 21 targets. Additionally, he made an impact on special teams, returning 26 punts for 323 yards and a touchdown. This signing fills a void for the Ravens following the departure of Devin Duvernay to the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency. Duvernay’s absence left a gap in punt returns, an area where the Ravens excelled in the 2023 season, ranking first in the NFL with 417 total punt return yards. Harty’s proven abilities in both receiving and special teams play make him a valuable asset as the Ravens continue to refine their roster for the upcoming season.
