According the James Walker, ESPN's AFC North blogger:


The Baltimore Ravens continue to show significant interest in Oregon middle linebacker Casey Matthews. The Ravens are holding a private workout for Matthews on Wednesday, the AFC North blog has learned.

Baltimore will put Matthews through team-specific drills and get an up-close look at the middle linebacker. The Ravens are putting a strong effort into finding a pupil and possible successor to future Hall of Famer Ray Lewis in this draft. Lewis will be 36 in May and is entering his 16th season.
