Jay Higgins IV Aims to Secure Spot on Ravens Roster with 'One Play a Day' Mentality

Jay Higgins IV has a laser-focused mission this preseason: make the Baltimore Ravens roster. But his approach to achieving this goal is anything but conventional. While many players rely on volume and constant repetitions, Higgins is taking a unique approach — focusing on making "one play a day" that proves his worth and solidifies his place on the team.

The rookie linebacker, who’s been making waves at training camp, has caught the eye of coaches and teammates alike with his disciplined mindset and commitment to perfecting every single play. Instead of overwhelming himself with the pressure of a high-stakes competition for a spot, Higgins is honing in on consistency, delivering standout performances when it counts most.

Fake Quote from Jay Higgins IV: "Every day, I’m trying to make one play — just one — that shows the coaches what I can do. If I focus on that and take it one step at a time, I’ll let everything else fall into place. It’s not about doing it all at once; it’s about being ready when my number’s called."

Higgins' approach has gained respect from those around him. As a rookie fighting for a spot in one of the NFL’s most competitive linebacker rooms, it’s clear that his focused mentality is paying off. His performance in camp has been a testament to his work ethic, and each play he makes adds to his growing confidence.

Fake Quote from Ravens Linebackers Coach: "Jay’s approach is impressive. It’s easy to get lost in the noise, but he’s been focused on taking it one play at a time, and that’s been a big factor in his progress. We’ve seen flashes of great talent, and if he keeps up this mentality, he’s going to make it hard to leave him off the roster."

With the Ravens' linebacker depth chart looking stacked, Higgins is going to have to keep proving himself if he wants to secure that coveted roster spot. But with his “one play a day” mentality, the undrafted rookie is making a statement — one play at a time.
