As the Baltimore Ravens seek to build out their coaching staff around new head coach Jesse Minter, one important vacancy will be a new offensive line coach. According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, that
role may be filled by veteran coach Dwayne Ledford, who is a strong candidate to join the Ravens.
Ledford, 49, has been with the Atlanta Falcons since 2021, encompassing his entire NFL coaching experience. He was the Falcons’ offensive line coach from 2021-2023, before also adding the additional title of offensive run game coordinator for the past two seasons. Prior to him coming to Atlanta, Ledford coached at the collegiate for many years at several different schools.
The Falcons have had a Top 10 rushing offense in each of the past three seasons, averaging at least 125 rushing yards per game and 4.0 yards per carry every year. As the team’s run game coordinator over the past two seasons, Bijan Robinson has emerged as one of the best running backs in the league and an Offensive Player of the Year candidate.
If Ledford to were to join the Ravens’ as their offensive line coach, it would represent a big hire for Minter. The Ravens’ offensive line took a step back last season and was particularly shaky in pass protection. The team’s owner Steve Bisciotti openly stated that Ravens’ leadership was disappointed in the lack of player development in this position group in 2025, which is often a coaching issue.
Should he in fact be hired, Ledford will work under whoever the Ravens’ new offensive coordinator is. They began requesting to interview candidates for this key role this week.
