WR Ted Ginn visited Ravens

Free-Agent wide receiver Tedd Ginn Jr. visited the Ravens during the past week, as was reported by Adam Caplan.

Ginn, the former Miami Dolphins first-round pick, has spent the last two years playing with the San Francisco 49ers. He has blazing speed, but hasn't come close to living up to his draft position as a receiver. However, Ginn is definitely a great asset in the return game.

The Ravens surely don't wish to continue using Lardarius Webb as a returner, being that he has developed into a pro-bowl caliber corner. Additionally, WR David Reed, who was showing promise as a kickoff returner, is coming off a torn ACL and S Tom Zbikowski who was used at returner as well, is now playing his ball in Indy.

And so, Ginn could be a good fit for the Ravens. He adds speed to the receiver group, and even though he would probably end up only being 4th or 5th on the depth chart at WR, he would give a huge boost on special teams.

Not to mention John Harbaugh has surely gotten an honest scouting report from his brother (San Francisco head coach Jim Harbaugh) on Ginn.
