The Baltimore Ravens have already made splashes in free agency, bringing back their own linebacker Kyle Van Noy and defensive tackle Justin Madubuike. General manager Eric DeCosta also hit the running back lottery with former Tennessee Titans back, Derrick Henry.

Now, DeCosta and the Ravens hope to hit on some players in the NFL Draft later this month.

In anticipation of that, the Ravens plan to host a couple of Penn State Nittany Lions in defensive end Chop Robinson and right end Theo Johnson. Baltimore also plans to bring in CFL Toronto Argonauts cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers per Aaron Wilson.

In three seasons at Penn State, Robinson has tallied 60 total tackles with 20 for loss and 11.5 sacks. He's also registered three passes defended, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. The Gaithersburg, Maryland, native is 6-3, 254-pounds,

Theo Johnson played four seasons at tight end for the Nittany Lions, and recorded 77 catches for 938 yards and 12 touchdowns over 44 games. In last years Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl's 38-25 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels, Johnson caught two balls for 16 yards and a touchdown.

Back during the NFL Scouting Combine in February, Johnson spoke about the interview process which will carry over into his official visits with teams who could draft him.

"Nothing can really prepare you for that, so you've got to just trust your training, trust your personality and know that being you is enough," Johnson said.

Corner Quan'tez Stiggers had a standout rookie season in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the Toronto Argonauts and was named the league's most outstanding rookie. The 22-year-old never played college football but tried out for the Fan Controlled Football (FCF) league at the urging of his mother.

Stiggers made the league and caught the attention of former Argonauts offensive coordinator Josh Jenkins, who convinced him to try out for the CFL. Last season, the Atlanta, Georgia native started 16 games for Toronto and tallied 53 tackles and five interceptions.
