Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Baltimore Ravens signed Pro Bowl
fullback Lorenzo Neal on Tuesday.
After five seasons as the lead blocker for perennial Pro Bowl selection
LaDainian Tomlinson in San Diego, Neal was released in February after his 15th
NFL season.
Neal, 37, has rushed for 782 yards and six touchdowns while hauling in 192
balls for 1,051 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns in 223 career games with the
Chargers, Bengals, Titans, Buccaneers, Jets, and Saints. He joined the Ravens
in training camp on Tuesday, where he could split time with Baltimore's
incumbent starter, Le'Ron McClain. McClain could also work in as a tailback
for the Ravens.
A fourth-round pick in the 1993 draft by the New Orleans Saints, Neal has been
the lead blocker for 1,000-yard running backs for 11 consecutive seasons, a
streak that spans five teams.
