Tommy Breaux did not try to minimize the quantum leap he is attempting to make. Asked about trying to jump from Towson University to the NFL, Breaux, with eyes wide, said: "It's like going from high school to the NBA."

It was an appropriate analogy because Breaux, who grew up in Randallstown, was a two-sport athlete at Towson, and the other sport was basketball.

Breaux will finish up a three-day tryout camp with the Ravens on Wednesday. A hair under 6-foot-7, his size and athleticism also got him tryouts with the Redskins and Giants in May. Neither team offered a contract.

Breaux went to Blinn (Tex.) Junior College after high school, then to Towson to play both football and basketball. He averaged 5.9 points and blocked 66 shots in the 2006-07 basketball season, starting 22 of 31 games for coach Pat Kennedy.

He decided his prospects were better in football than basketball and he committed to the Tigers' football team last season. He missed three games with a finger injury, but grabbed five touchdowns in his last four games, when he had 21 catches for 320 yards. For the season, he had 35 catches for 514 yards and six TDs.

In Tuesday's workout, the Ravens sent Breaux on deep routes several times, and threw fade routes at least twice.

"I feel I improved from [Monday]," Breaux said. "Cam [offensive coordinator Cam Cameron] said I was starting to look like a football player."

The Ravens also invited three other free agent receivers in for tryouts this week. They were Will Buchanon, who has been with the Raiders, Chiefs and Panthers; Kenneth Harris of Georgia; and Chris Vaughn of Louisville.

Coach John Harbaugh was non-committal on the free agents after Tuesday's workout. "We're going to look at this tape, and once we get three days of tape, we'll take a look and see if any of those guys can make us better. If they can, we'll make a change."
