Jonas Shaffer joined The Baltimore Banner in January 2023 as a Ravens beat reporter. He previously covered the team for The Baltimore Sun, where he first served as an editor and general-assignment reporter. He’s also worked for The Washington Post and the Cape Cod Times.
Jonas grew up in Silver Spring and graduated from the University of Maryland. He made it into Sports Illustrated at age 7 after the magazine ran a small wire photo of him, in his soccer gear, next to his mother. (“SOCCER MOMS: The ultimate bench warmers.”) His athletic career peaked not long after.

“He’s had some experiences that are learning experiences that he could learn from and be better from,” Ravens coach Jesse Minter said of the polarizing Diego Pavia, who starred at Vanderbilt last year.
Calais Campbell, a six-time Pro Bowl selection who played in Baltimore from 2020 to 2022, should bolster a Ravens defensive line that was set to enter the summer with some uncertainty.
There was plenty to like from the Ravens’ 11-man draft class. Here’s a look at what makes each player stand out, from pass protection ability to penalty-drawing prowess.
Former Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia had initially accepted an invitation to the Ravens’ rookie minicamp, which will be held Saturday, but he was set to officially join the team’s rookie class Tuesday.
