The lockout doesn’t just prevent coaches from communicating with players.

We here at BaltimoreRavens.com can’t talk with them either.

But that doesn’t mean we aren’t hearing from them. Via Twitter, many players have been broadcasting what they’re up to this summer and general thoughts on, well, anything.

Here’s a compilation of some of the best tweets from the past week. If you want to get them faster, follow the Ravens’ official Twitter page @1WinningDrive.
