One day during training camp, tight end Mark Andrews broke into a wide grin when he recalled hearing the news that Greg Roman was being promoted to offensive coordinator for the Ravens. After all, Roman's affinity for the tight ends, and the multiple ways they have starred in Roman's schemes throughout the years, boded well for Andrews.
Nine games into the 2019 season, Andrews is still smiling, as he, Hayden Hurst and Nick Boyle have become the most potent tight-end trio in the league, key cogs in the offensive machine directed by Roman and quarterback Lamar Jackson that has the Ravens (7-2) atop the AFC North and considered strong Super Bowl contenders.
Ravens tight ends lead the league in receptions (83) and receiving yards (949), and have been targeted a league-high 116 times. Nearly half the time Jackson throws a pass, it's headed to a tight end.
