Secretary Of Navy 'Confident' In Reynolds Playing For Ravens

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- While he still has commitments to the Navy, it appears that quarterback turned WR Keenan Reynolds will get the chance to play with the Baltimore Ravens, who drafted him in the sixth round of the NFL draft.

The Ravens were hopeful that Reynolds would be allowed to play, but said they would abide by whatever decision made by the Navy.

As of this morning, the Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus said, "I'm confident that we can work something out for Keenan to do both – to serve his country and to play professional football," when he appeared on the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday morning.

"If Keenan's playing for the Ravens, and he's going out recruiting for the Navy and making appearances for us, that's a great way for him to serve," Mabus said. "He's going to attract a lot of the great talent we need to stay in the Navy," Mabus added.
