GREG ROMAN was named Baltimore's offensive coordinator in January 2019. Roman, a 22-year NFL coaching veteran, is in his second stint with the Ravens after re-joining the team in 2017. Since his return, Roman has made an impact on the offense and looks to build on recent success, including the NFL's No. 2-ranked rushing attack (152.6 ypg) from 2018. Due in large part to a pair of rookies (QB Lamar Jackson and RB Gus Edwards), the team racked up the second-most rushing yards (2,441) in franchise history in 2018, while also producing a franchise-best 5,999 total yards. Baltimore also finished as the top team in time of possession, holding the ball for an average of 32:17 per game. Over the final seven games of 2018 (with Jackson starting at QB), Baltimore piled up an NFL high 1,607 rushing yards (229.6 ypg), with Seattle (1,190) rushing for the next-highest total. Also during that seven-game span, Edwards posted the NFL's third-most rushing yards (654, tied, Chris Carson), while Jackson's 556 ranked seventh.

Also during that seven-game span, Edwards posted the NFL's third-most rushing yards (654, tied, Chris Carson), while Jackson's 556 ranked seventh. Overall, the undrafted rookie Edwards produced a team-high 718 rushing yards in just 11 games, after being elevated from the practice squad in Week 6. In 2018, Roman coached a young group of tight ends, all of whom played a role in the team's offense. Rookie Mark Andrews (third-round draft pick) ranked No. 1 among rookie NFL tight ends in receiving yards (552) and No. 3 in receptions (34). Another rookie, first-rounder Hayden Hurst, became more involved in the offense after missing the first four games due to injury. Veterans Nick Boyle (16 games & a career-high 213 receiving yards) and Maxx Williams (13 games, 143 receiving yards and 1 TD) contributed both in the passing game and rushing attack. In Roman's first season (2017) back with the team, the offense made significant strides, particularly in the latter part of the year. Following that season, Roman was promoted to assistant head coach/tight ends coach. Since his first term in Baltimore (2006-07), Roman has been a successful NFL offensive coordinator both in San Francisco and Buffalo. With each team, Roman worked with NFL QBs who totaled their highest single-season passer ratings under his guidance: SF's Alex Smith (104.1 in 2012) and Colin Kaepernick (98.3 in 2012) and Buffalo's Tyrod Taylor (99.4 in 2015).

ADDITIONAL COACHING HIGHLIGHTS: Roman has 22 years experience coaching in the NFL for five teams. With Roman as offensive coordinator, San Francisco earned three-straight trips to the NFC Championship game (2011-13) and a Super Bowl appearance against the Ravens in 2012. More recently with the Bills, Roman helped Buffalo's run game excel in 2015, as it led the NFL with 152.0 rushing yards per game and 4.78 yards per carry.
