Former Temple quarterback Chester Stewart signed a rookie free-agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder, who started six games last season, completed 54 of 83 passes for a team-best 743 yards and two touchdown passes. Stewart also had two interceptions.

He completed all nine of his pass attempts for 140 yards in a 38-7 victory at Maryland.

Stewart joins former Owls tailback Bernard Pierce (third-round pick) and tight end Matt Balasavage (free agent) as Ravens' rookies.
