Ravens QB Anthony Brown discusses progress over course of 2022 offseason

Ravens quarterback Anthony Brown discussed his improvements over the course of the 2022 offseason

The goal of an NFL player is to keep improving day after day and game after game. That includes Baltimore Ravens quarterback Anthony Brown, who has made strides throughout the offseason up until the final preseason game against the Washington Commanders, which Baltimore emerged victorious from by the final score of 17-15.

Brown was asked after the game about how much he feels like his game has improved from the start of minicamp to the final preseason game. He revealed that he believes he’s made plenty of improvements, but credited a lot of people for their contributions in his development over the past few months.

“I would say that I improved a lot, but it had nothing to do with me, aside from staying the course. [Quarterbacks] coach [James] Urban, [assistant quarterbacks] coach Kerry Dixon, [QB] Lamar [Jackson] and ‘Snoop’ [QB Tyler Huntley] have taught me a lot along the way, as far as picking up the speed of the game and stuff like that. We practice so hard that when we get into these games, it feels a lot slower, so that was a huge part of my development”

The NFL can be a tough league to secure a steady role in, especially the quarterback position.  For Brown, his improvement this offseason will help him throughout his football career. While it feels unlikely that the Ravens will keep three quarterbacks on their roster, Brown has put together plenty of positive tape over the course of the 2022 preseason, and would be the perfect third-quarterback option behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

Ravens hire Kerry Dixon as assistant quarterbacks coach

The Ravens have hired Kerry Dixon to be their assistant quarterbacks coach

The Baltimore Ravens have gone through quite a few coaching changes during the 2022 offseason. Some have been bigger than others, but each will impact the organization in some way, shape or form as the team looks to get back to dominance after a disappointing 2021.

On Monday, the Ravens announced that they added another coach to their staff in Kerry Dixon, who will be the assistant quarterbacks coach. Dixon has spent most of his career in the college ranks, most recently at Georgia Tech as the wide receivers coach.

Dixon has also spent time at Toledo and Florida, as well as many other schools. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic made it clear that Dixon will assist Ravens quarterbacks coach James Urban.

Dixon has had plenty of success developing offensive talent throughout his career as a coach and he should be able to have an extremely positive impact on the players that he coaches in Baltimore. He has a wide array of experience working in a many different roles, so he can use that to assist multiple positional groups at getting better if needed.

Having experienced coaches on any staff can help develop players and make sure they are are getting the best possible advice.  By bringing in Dixon, the Ravens believe that he can use what he’s learned to benefit their team in multiple ways both on and off of the field.
