Here's the full list of promotions and the addition:

"We are excited and proud to announce these deserving promotions throughout Football Operations," DeCosta stated. "Brandon, Bobby and Chas continue to serve as strong voices in our scouting department, and we are confident that Terrell will move seamlessly into an area scout role. James and Sam are valued team members as part of our talented analytics group. Chris is an important member of our training room who excels in player rehabilitation and Ebony continues to shine, leading our seamstress team and ensuring that our players look and feel great. Finally, we recently hired Steffani to work in Player Nutrition. Steffani grew up locally, she's a life-long Ravens fan and she forms a great team with Sarah Snyder, allowing us to impact more players."
The Ravens have a long track record of promoting from within their personnel department, going all the way back to DeCosta beginning as a personnel intern in 1996.
Vega was previously the Ravens' National Scout. Now his position will be filled by Berning, who was previously a Midwest/Southwest Area Scout, and Stallard, who was the team's Southwest Area Scout. Parker was a Pro Scout & Salary Cap Analyst who will now be a regional scout.
