Ravens RB Justice Hill is still a vital component for offensive coordinator Todd Monken

The Baltimore Ravens have Derrick Henry but hat doesn’t mean Justice Hill won’t be a vital component to the offense this season.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill produced four touchdowns under offensive coordinator Todd Monken last season. How will Monken deploy Hill with all-pro Derrick Henry now on the roster this season?

Monken will likely defer to quarterback Lamar Jackson when Henry isn’t getting his expected high-volume carries. However, that doesn’t mean Hill won’t be a vital component to the Ravens on offense.

Hill can be used deceptively in 21 personnel, operating as a pass catcher on short routes and screenplays. Moreover, Hill may be the best option for the Ravens on third down, especially in obvious passing situations.

Too fast for most opposing defensive linebackers, Hill will only improve by getting reps in training camp behind Henry. He’ll also be sharpened by lining up versus all-pro linebacker Roquan Smith.

Having played under numerous offensive coordinators, Hill will get a 2nd straight season with Monken, a coach well aware of his attributes. At age 26, Hill understands his role and is enthusiastic about a chance to get back to it this fall.

How different will the Ravens’ defense look under new DC Zach Orr?

We’re looking at five ways the Baltimore Ravens defense will look different under new defensive coordinator Zach Orr

The Ravens quickly replaced Mike Macdonald as defensive coordinator, promoting inside linebackers coach Zachary Orr.

Orr, who played for the Ravens from 2014-2016, is a fast-rising star in the coaching ranks.

The 31-year-old Orr has been on the Ravens staff since 2017, save for one season with the Jaguars and Urban Meyer in 2021.
