Mark Andrews Says Lamar Jackson Is Adding New Weapons to His Game. That Should Scare the NFL.

Mark Andrews has been catching passes from Lamar Jackson for years now. He’s seen the no-look throws, the third-and-long escapes, the MVP seasons. So when Andrews says something different is happening in Baltimore, it’s worth listening.

The Ravens tight end sat down with CBS Sports and talked about the team’s new offense under first-year coordinator Declan Doyle. And he didn’t sugarcoat it. This isn’t a tweak or an adjustment. According to Andrews, it’s a total reset.

“This is a different offense than we’ve been a part of since we got into the league — it’s totally different than anything we’ve done,” Andrews said. “I think [Jackson’s] going to make it his own, adapt to it and be the best that there is. That’s the type of person that he is and that’s the type of guys and coaches that we have. I think that’s a scary sight when you see Lamar Jackson adding new things to his repertoire.”

A New Era in Baltimore

The Ravens moved on from longtime head coach John Harbaugh after the 2025 season. That opened the door for Jesse Minter to take over as head coach and for Doyle to run the offense. At 29, Doyle is one of the youngest coordinators in the league. But he’s not exactly green. He paid his dues at Iowa as a student assistant, then spent four years with the Saints, coached tight ends in Denver, and helped turn around Chicago’s offense from dead last in total yards in 2024 to sixth in 2025.

That’s the kind of leap Baltimore is hoping for. And if you’re a Ravens fan, the timing couldn’t be better. Jackson is still in his prime. Andrews is still a reliable target. The pieces are there. It’s just a matter of whether the new system clicks.

What This Means for the AFC

The Ravens have been a contender for years but haven’t gotten over the hump. Part of that has been schematic. Defenses have caught up to some of Jackson’s improv-heavy style. A fresh offensive approach could give him new ways to attack. And Andrews seems convinced Jackson will take whatever Doyle draws up and make it his own.

That’s the part that should worry the rest of the conference. Jackson doesn’t stay static. He adapts. He evolves. And if he adds a new layer to his game on top of everything he already does, defenses are going to have a long season.
