BALTIMORE, Md. -- After having his senior collegiate season cut short, this now former Wildcat is driven to make it at the next level. Fort Valley State's Shemar Bridges shined in his first NFL Spring Training game Thursday night with the Baltimore Ravens.

The 6-4 Bridges grabbed four passes for 62 yards and he elevated for a 14-yard second-quarter touchdown strike in Baltimore's 23-10 win over Tennessee.

WR Shemar Bridges

Using his 6-foot-4 size to his advantage, Bridges caught four passes for 62 yards and a touchdown and showed his potential to be a big-bodied target in the receiving corps. The undrafted rookie from Fort Valley State entered training camp as a long shot to make the roster, but he had two acrobatic catches when he simply elevated over defenders to make plays, including a 14-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter.
