Ravens’ 29-Year-Old OC Declan Doyle Lays Out Offensive Vision, First Play-Calling Plan

The newly introduced coordinator emphasized a trust-building approach with Lamar Jackson and stressed participation in voluntary OTAs for a new system.

Overview

  • Declan Doyle, 29, was introduced as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator and primary play-caller, marking his first NFL play-calling role after stints with the Saints, Broncos and Bears.
  • Doyle said his age is an advantage for connecting with players, and he has already begun extended conversations with Lamar Jackson, noting that mutual trust will be built over time.
  • He praised Jackson’s “hunger to learn,” projected a higher ceiling for the two-time MVP, and targeted greater consistency on scripted plays through improved eyes and footwork.
  • Doyle described his offense as physical, detailed and explosive, and said he expects offensive players to attend voluntary OTAs given the installation of a new system.
  • Head coach Jesse Minter unveiled a 25-coach staff that includes DC Anthony Weaver and ST coordinator Anthony Levine Sr., while outside analysts speculated — without confirmation — about potential pursuit of Tyreek Hill as a roster upgrade.
