- Minter said he will call defensive plays and inherits a roster with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, Kyle Hamilton, and Roquan Smith, aiming for a Super Bowl return.
- Minter said he will build the Baltimore Ravens on toughness and fundamentals and has had multiple conversations with Jackson, raising expectations after his Chargers' defensive success last year.
