BREAKING NEWS: Boston Bruins Star David Pastrňák Signs Contract with NFL’s Baltimore Ravens — Shocks Sports World
In one of the most shocking and unorthodox moves in modern sports history, Boston Bruins superstar winger David Pastrňák has officially signed a contract with the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League.
Yes, you read that correctly — the NHL’s most electrifying scorer is headed to the gridiron.
From Skates to Cleats: Pastrňák Makes Stunning Switch
The announcement came via a joint statement released by both the Bruins and the Ravens early Tuesday morning. The Ravens confirmed that Pastrňák, 29, has signed a multi-year deal with the team, initially as part of a special training program and potential game-day roster spot as a kicker and special teams weapon.
“David Pastrňák is one of the most gifted athletes on the planet,” said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. “When we saw what he could do with a football — the accuracy, the power, the focus — we had to explore the possibility. Now, it’s real.”
The “Why” Behind the Move
Sources close to Pastrňák reveal that the Czech-born hockey star had long been fascinated with American football, often joking with teammates that he could “kick a 60-yarder in full gear.” During a recent offseason charity event hosted by the Bruins and Patriots, Pastrňák reportedly impressed NFL scouts by nailing 62-yard field goals and even attempting punts with precision.
“It started as a fun idea,” Pastrňák said in a statement. “Then I started training seriously, and next thing I know, I’m on a call with the Ravens. I’ve always believed athletes should push boundaries. Why not me?”
Bruins Respond: “Forever a Legend”
The Boston Bruins expressed both shock and support in their response, with GM Don Sweeney saying:
“While we’re obviously stunned by David’s decision, we support him 100%. He’s been a franchise cornerstone, and no matter what sport he’s in, he’ll always be a Bruin at heart.”
Reports indicate that Pastrňák’s contract with the Bruins included a clause allowing for “cross-sport participation” in the offseason, though no one anticipated a full leap into another professional league.
What’s Next?
The Ravens have placed Pastrňák on a custom athlete development program and will evaluate him for special teams action during the preseason. If things go according to plan, fans could see him suited up and kicking by Week 4 of the NFL season.
NFL insiders are already speculating whether this could open doors for more multi-sport transitions, especially with athletes like Pastrňák possessing elite skill sets and global fan bases.
Social Media Explodes
Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok lit up moments after the announcement:
- @espn: “David Pastrňák signs with the Baltimore Ravens. Did we enter a simulation?”
- @TomBrady: “Didn’t see this one coming. Good luck, Pasta. Don’t forget your mouthguard. 😂”
- @BarstoolSports: “Pasta’s gonna kick a game-winner and then go skate at halftime. Unreal.”
One thing is certain: whether it’s slicing through defenders on the ice or splitting the uprights on the field, David Pastrňák continues to redefine what it means to be an athlete.
