The Baltimore Ravens have a new, young offensive coordinator in 29-year-old Declan Doyle.Quarterback Lamar Jackson will be working with top offensive weapons like running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver Zay Flowers.Henry was one of the NFL’s top running backs in 2025, while Flowers set career highs in receiving yards and catches.The Ravens’ offense also features key players like tight end Mark Andrews and offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten.
The NFL is undergoing a youth movement, and there’s no greater example than Ravens‘ first-year offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and Lamar Jackson, both being 29. A young and rising coaching prospect who made our initial list of candidates to watch, Doyle served as the Denver Broncos tight-ends coach from the 2023-2024 seasons before joining Ben Johnson’s staff this year in Chicago as the offensive coordinator.
Doyle will be thrown into the fire immediately as the new offensive coordinator and the coach tasked with getting Jackson to the Super Bowl. Despite missing four games due to injury, QB Lamar Jackson finished with 2,549 yards, 21 TDs, 7 INTs, and a 103.8 passer rating (No. 4 in NFL). His 8.1 net yards per pass attempt tied for the NFL’s third-highest rate. Now, it’ll be on Declan Doyle (OC) to truly unlock Jackson’s potential.
With the off-season quickly moving along, OTAs fast approaching, we’re ranking Lamar Jackson’s offensive weapons ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.
RB Derrick Henry
Baltimore’s No. 2-ranked rushing attack was fueled by RB Derrick Henry, who ran for the NFL’s second-most yards (1,595). Henry also logged the league’s second-most rushing TDs (16). Henry was the NFL’s only RB in 2025 to rank in the Top 3 in each rushing yards, rushing TDs, and YPC average (5.2 – third). Minter has talked about using Henry to take pressure off Lamar Jackson.

Flowers set career highs in receiving yards (1,211 – 7th in NFL, 2nd in franchise history) and catches (86 – 11th in NFL). He became the third player in franchise history with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
TE Mark Andrews
Last season, Andrews finished second on the team in receiving with 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns.
Roger Rosengarten
In 2024, Rosengarten earned a spot on the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie team, alongside No. 5-overall pick Joe Alt of the Los Angeles Chargers. After some early career struggles, Rosengarten took over as the Ravens’ starting right tackle in Week 4 and finished ranked No. 39 at his position by Pro Football Focus (PFF). He had four sacks allowed in 488 pass blocking snaps. This season, Rosengarten’s 76.4 grade was 26th in the NFL, as he logged 1,014 snaps with three sacks allowed.
WR Rashod Bateman
Bateman had a down year and even missed the AFC North title game due to illness. After a career year in 2024, Bateman finished last season with 13 games played, 12 starts, 38 targets, 19 receptions, 224 yards receiving, and two touchdowns.
WR Devontez Walker
Walker is on the cusp of a huge leap and needs the snaps as the big play option in Declan Doyle’s offense. A highlight reel when he’s in the lineup, Walker had six catches for 136 yards and three touchdowns on eight targets in 12 regular-season games for the Ravens in 2025. All he does is catch touchdowns, which should be the phrase used to describe Walker’s abilities. Walker has seven catches on 11 career targets, for 157 yards and three touchdowns. Five of his seven catches have gone for over 20 yards. Dating back to his rookie season, Walker’s first three catches all went for touchdowns. Walker may never be the second or third option, but the next offensive coordinator has to figure out more snaps in key situations for the pass catcher.
RB Justice Hill
Hill (neck) missed seven games and only rushed 18 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns while catching 21 of 27 targets for 169 yards and one touchdown during 10 appearances in 2025. Hill also had seven kickoff returns for 188 yards. Hill won the backup running back job over Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali for the top change-of-pace role behind Derrick Henry, but he didn’t play after Week 12 due to a neck injury.
RB Rasheen Ali
The third-year running back finished the 2025 season with seven carries for 24 yards, along with nine catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. He also compiled 763 kickoff-return yards. With Keaton Mitchell joining the Chargers, Ali will battle Justice Hill for consistent playing time.
