In case you didn’t peer around the construction surrounding Byrd Stadium on Monday and catch a glimpse of it, one of the strongest armed quarterbacks in the NFL was whipping passes to one of the fastest wide receivers in college football.

Soon they could be teammates.

According to this report on the Ravens’ team site, second-year quarterback Joe Flacco made the trek down I-95 on Monday to privately work out Darrius Heyward-Bey for team personnel, including director of player personnel Eric DeCosta.

The Ravens, who hold the 26th pick in April’s Draft, may be in the market for a bigger, explosive receiver like the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Heyward-Bey as their top two receivers from last season (Pro Bowl-alternate Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton) are both 5-foot-10.

It remains to be seen if Heyward-Bey, whose 4.3 40-yard dash was the fastest at the NFL Combine, will be around when the Ravens select, but by bringing their stud quarterback of the future down to College Park, it shows a major committment to being as familiar as possible with the local talent.
