Tom Flacco's goal is to play quarterback in the NFL, but he's taking a more challenging path than his older brother.

While Joe Flacco was a Ravens first-round draft pick in 2008, Tom may go undrafted later this month. A standout quarterback at Towson the past two seasons, Flacco wasn't invited to the Senior Bowl, the East-West Shrine Game, or the Scouting Combine.

Five inches shorter than the 6-foot-6 former Ravens quarterback and Super Bowl MVP, Tom may have to earn his way into the NFL as an undrafted free agent. But Ravens General Manager Eric Decosta believes the younger Flacco has a legitimate chance to realize his NFL dream.

"Obviously, we know a lot about Tom," DeCosta said. "We admire his grit. He thrived this year. From a size standpoint, probably a little bit below the line. But he's got a really good arm. He's been an accurate passer. He can make most of the throws.
