He had to wait a few days, but Trace McSorley has earned a shot at qualifying for an NFL roster.

McSorley was drafted in the sixth round by the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, making him the 197th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

After a record-setting career at Penn State, McSorley made headlines at the NFL combine in February when he refused to take part in defensive back drills, choosing instead to stick with his roots at the quarterback position.

At the NFL combine, McSorley ran a 4.57 40-yard dash, posted a 33” vertical jump and completed the 3-cone drill in just over seven seconds.

McSorley will join a competitive stable of quarterbacks in Baltimore, as the Ravens already have second-year pro Lamar Jackson on their roster.

The former Penn State quarterback is the fifth Nittany Lion to be selected in the draft behind Miles Sanders, Connor McGovern, Shareef Miller and Amani Oruwariye.
