The Baltimore Ravens have hired Anthony Levine Sr. as their new special teams coordinator, tasked with reviving a unit that has fallen short of the team's lofty expectations in recent seasons. Levine, a longtime Ravens player and coach, is seen as the ideal leader to help the special teams regain their signature intensity and impact.

Why it matters

The Ravens' special teams have traditionally been a source of pride and a key part of the team's identity, but the unit has struggled in recent years. Restoring the special teams' effectiveness could provide a major boost to the Ravens as they look to return to the playoffs and contend for a Super Bowl.

The details

Levine, who spent 10 seasons as a player and coach with the Ravens, takes over a special teams group that has lacked the physicality and playmaking ability that defined the unit during the team's championship runs. He will be tasked with improving coverage units, kick/punt returns, and the overall discipline and intensity of the special teams.

  • Levine was hired as the Ravens' new special teams coordinator in January 2026.
