The Baltimore Ravens have secured former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Keith Kirkwood on a one-year contract. At 30 years old, Kirkwood returns to Baltimore after spending the entire 2024 season on their practice squad.
Despite being part of the Ravens’ roster, Kirkwood did not appear in any games last season. Originally entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Temple in 2018, he has spent the majority of his professional career with the Saints. His first stint with New Orleans lasted from 2018 to 2019, and he later rejoined the team for two additional seasons from 2022 to 2023.
Between his tenures with the Saints, Kirkwood signed with the Carolina Panthers, spending two seasons in Charlotte. Over the course of his career, he has recorded 24 receptions for 294 yards and three touchdowns. The bulk of his production came during his rookie season, when he accumulated 209 receiving yards.
In 2023, Kirkwood played a career-high 13 games with the Saints. While he primarily contributed on special teams, he also took on snaps at wide receiver when injuries affected the team’s depth chart. His versatility and experience make him a potential asset for the Ravens as they prepare for the upcoming season.
