If there’s one thing we know for sure about the new offense the Baltimore Ravens are in the midst of installing, it’s that the tight ends will be highly featured. The Ravens have always loved their tight ends.

With Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews, first- and third-round picks respectively, going into their second years, and Nick Boyle re-signed to a three-year deal, Roman has plenty of toys to play with.

Hurst reportedly added about 20 pounds of muscle this offseason. He flexed some of it when talking about his position group.

Our tight end room is loaded,” Hurst said. “I know we are a huge focal point of this offense, so it’s fun being a tight end here and playing for Baltimore. It’s very exciting.”

Baltimore envisions huge blocking roles in its diverse and run-heavy scheme for the tight ends. They will also throw to them quite a bit as well.

Admittedly, not much has changed for Boyle, the veteran of the group, aside from his new deal. The bigger opportunity for growth lies with Hurst and Andrews. The jump from Year 1 to Year 2 is a big one for all players, and it will be especially important for this group of tight ends.

All three are a little different, but they know each one of them will surely be used in a variety of ways.

The Ravens will want those tight ends to help Lamar Jackson develop into a more complete quarterback in his second season, and with three months before the games count, they’re feeling confident.
