Ravens' Patrick Queen Declares 'Earth is Flat!' - Joins Kyrie Irving in Science Class

Sometimes, social media isn't real life. So maybe Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen is goofing off or trying to get some attention or something by taking to Twitter to make an interesting (that is, "kooky'' declaration about the shape of the Earth.

"PSA,'' Queen wrote. "Earth is flat. Thank you. Carry on!!''

PSA Earth is flat thank you carry on‼️

And we will indeed do so, with football talk about a Ravens team that we think has title potential. After recently signing quarterback Lamar Jackson and linebacker Roquan Smith to lucrative contracts, the roster (and the salary cap) is loaded up.

There is the contractual issue of Baltimore having another young star-caliber player in Queen who must be reckoned with. Maybe the Ravens already did so with the former first-rounder as Baltimore didn't exercise his fifth-year option. But the numbers are good - he totaled 117 tackles and five sacks last season while allowing an opposing passer rating of only 83.1 in coverage - and the talent is good.

Queen jumped onto the scene as a rookie with 106 total tackles (nine for loss), three sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his first season, en route to a spot on the PFWA All-Rookie Team. And last year's numbers? Those were career-highs.

What can Queen do in 2023? Help the Ravens defense dominate. What can he do after that? The 23-year-old could in theory chase a contract not unlike the one given to Smith ($100 million over five years) here or elsewhere.

What can Queen not do in the meantime? Be hired to join Dallas Mavs star Kyrie Irving in teaching a science class, that's what.
