The Ravens moved on from Tee Martin on Wednesday and quickly named a replacement, as Adam Schefter reports that former Cardinals quarterbacks coach Israel Woolfork has been hired to work with Baltimore star quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Last season, Woolfork worked with Cardinals quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Kyler Murray, who combined to throw for 4,328 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Arizona struggled in the record books, but had the league’s seventh-best passing attack and finished 11th in interception rate (1.69%).

Woolfork began his NFL coaching career in 2022 with the Browns and was the recipient of the team’s Bill Willis Coaching Fellowship. He was hired by new Arizona Head Coach Jonathan Gannon in 2023 to tutor the team’s passers. In 2024, Murray completed 68.8% of his passes, threw for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns, and posted a 93.5 passer rating.
Before joining the Browns, Woolfork spent nine years in the college coaching ranks, beginning with a graduate assistant post at Miami (OH) from 2013-14. He later coached running backs and wide receivers for the RedHawks. Woolfork played wide receiver at Grand Valley State and helped lead the team to a D-II national championship in 2009.
