The Baltimore Ravens value tight ends more than most of the NFL. Their three tight end sets using Mark Andrews, Hayden Hurst, and Nick Boyle took the league by storm in 2019, helping Baltimore put up historic rushing numbers. However, the team traded Hurst during the 2020 offseason, leaving a huge hole in their offense.
One player who could help the Ravens get back to their style of putting three tight ends on the field is University of Miami tight end Brevin Jordan. The 6-foot-3, 245 pound tight end enjoyed solid production as a Hurricane, putting up 105 receptions for 1,358 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Despite his great receiving numbers, he’s also a good blocker who would give Baltimore an all-around player who would fill in nicely next to Andrews and Boyle. His skill set would be perfect to fill a role like Hurst had for the Ravens, and he can be utilized all over the field in a variety of different ways.
From their size profiles to their playing styles in multiple areas, there’s a lot of parallels between #Miami TE Brevin Jordan and Jonnu Smith.
So versatile that you have to pause the screen prior to the snap in order to find their pre-snap alignments. pic.twitter.com/dNLV1IYZTe

Jordan is a monster in the open field, and was utilized on screens a lot in college. If Baltimore could scheme up plays to maximize his ability in space, it would make the Ravens’ offense even more of a nightmare to defend against.
It’s no secret that Baltimore missed using three tight ends in 2020. Despite having some other options on their roster such as Jacob Breeland, Eli Wolf, Josh Oliver and Eric Tomlinson, having a player like Jordan to pair with Andrews and Boyle would help the Ravens open up both their running game and their passing game even more.
