If HBO’s Hard Knocks was in Westminister instead of Cortland following the Jets, I am sure that the producers of the show would focus on their efforts on following the quest of Ramon Harewood. Harewood is a native of Barbados. He was recruited to Morehouse based on his size alone. He attended on an athletic scholarship. He only has a handful of years of experience playing football. He considered going to an English college to play rugby. He is the long shot.
2010 Outlook: This guy is a work in progress. He is athletic. He is quick. He has size. He doesn’t have technique- yet. There aren’t expectations for this guy this year, at least when it comes to the roster. The expectation is that he has a shot of making the practice squad. This guy is nothing more than a project. A project with a ton of upside. A project that could pay off in 2-3 years. A project that may fall flat on its face. The only thing Harwood has to do is make enough improvement in camp, so that the Ravens give him his chance.
As a fellow Bajan, I am very excited to see this young man take the field. As a jets fan, it would be tough to wear Ravens jersey, but I would. Show them what stuff we are made of. Good luck and God bless Ramon. I’ll pray for your success.
John- a guy like Harewood is the kind that you root for- the long shot, the good story. I wish him well, too.
Also as a fellow bajan I will him well , who knows he might had just open some doors for other bajans.
