As the Ravens' passing camp opened yesterday, Randy Hymes looked like he was having an identity crisis.
A starting receiver at the end of last season, Hymes was throwing tight spirals in one drill before running a few routes of his own. But Hymes, who is still making the transition from college quarterback to NFL receiver, has no grand designs on playing a dual role outside of practice.
Instead of becoming the next "Slash" - the nickname given to multidimensional threat Kordell Stewart - Hymes is focused on making the cut as a starting receiver.
"When I was throwing the ball, I was like, ooh, that felt good," Hymes said. "But I know where I stand. I'm going to stay a receiver.
"Everybody that's played quarterback wants to play that in the NFL. It doesn't bother me, though. I like the position I'm in right now because I'm getting opportunities to play."
