Kamar Aiken looking sharp as Ravens' early first-team receiver
If Breshad Perriman wants to be a starting receiver for the Ravens, he's going to have to earn it.
The 26th overall pick is taking a back seat to Kamar Aiken as the starting receiver opposite Steve Smith during OTAs. Reports indicate the Ravens' other Central Florida alum is turning heads on the practice field.
Stellar day for #Ravens wide receiver Kamar Aiken during open OTA practice today. Smoked Asa for TD and both Elam and Hill for TD.

@JoeFlaccoFan5 Kamar Aiken and Jeremy Butler were catching balls left and right. I'd say them. Rookie TE Nick Boyle looked good, too.

Kamar Aiken had a strong day lining up opposite Steve Smith in the starting offense. Made several impressive catches. #Ravens

Among winners at #Ravens OTA today: WR Kamar Aiken, rookie TE Nick Boyle. Both targeted frequently, delivered w/ nice catches. #RavensTalk

Aiken caught 24 balls for 267 yards and three touchdowns last season in Baltimore, his first with the club, and his first significant action in the league.
Perriman figures to make a run at the starting spot currently held by Aiken with Marlon Brown also in the mix, but it doesn't appear that Aiken plans on going away quietly.
