The Baltimore Ravens started their 2021 season at 8-3 and stood atop of the AFC. However, the end of the year wasn’t nearly as successful, as they suffered through a six-game losing streak and finished at 8-9 and out of the playoffs completely.
So far, the team has used their 2022 offseason to shake things up on their coaching staff. One of those changes involves now-former inside linebackers coach Rob Ryan who won’t be returning to Baltimore’s staff in 2022. In his place, it’s been reported that former Ravens linebacker Zachary Orr will be returning to the organization to be the team’s inside linebacker coach. A few Baltimore players expressed their excitement for Orr’s homecoming on Twitter.

Orr responded to both Queen and Fort, showing that he’s ready to reunite with the two players he’s helped coach in the past.

The reunion of Orr and the Ravens comes after the former linebacker departed for the Jacksonville Jaguars alongside Joe Cullen in the 2021 offseason. Orr spent multiple years within the Baltimore organization both as a player and as a coach, and he now makes his return after a year away from the franchise.
