After the Ravens wrapped mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, Jackson expressed excitement about what Baltimore's offense could become with Doyle, the 30-year-old coordinator and the NFL's youngest playcaller, directing a unit built around one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in league history.
“I feel like there’s going to be a lot of explosiveness this year,” Jackson said. “The way Declan calls plays and his creativity with his mind — how detailed he is — it’s mind-blowing.”

The comments matter after a disappointing season for Jackson and the Ravens. Jackson produced his first losing record as a starting quarterback, going 6-7, and finished with the fewest total yards of his eight-year career at 2,898. Baltimore missed the playoffs for the first time since 2021, and the offense averaged 332.2 yards per game, its lowest mark since 2017.
That context makes Jackson's offseason buy-in even more important. He has attended more voluntary workouts than in previous years because he wants to learn Doyle's system and terminology, and the early chemistry between quarterback and playcaller has become one of Baltimore's biggest storylines.
“I like the coaching,” Jackson said. “I want to be detailed, as well, [and] keep the defense honest. So, when we’re doing everything right — the little things right — the defense doesn’t know what we’re doing [or] what we’re capable of on offense on any given play. With the type of coaching that Declan is bringing, that I believe he’s bringing, the sky’s the limit.”

Jackson has responded well to changes in coordinators before. He won his first MVP award in 2019, his first season with Greg Roman, and won another MVP in 2023, his first season with Todd Monken. Doyle now inherits an offense with Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, and Mark Andrews, giving him several ways to attack defenses.
Pro Bowl safety Kyle Hamilton said Jackson looks "like a two-time MVP" in the new offense and joked that, even as Jackson approaches 30 next January, he "still moves like he's at Louisville."
The Ravens are hoping Doyle's creativity can restore one of the NFL's most dangerous attacks. Baltimore led the league in scoring in 2019 and finished first in total offense in 2024 before slipping last season. Doyle has emphasized explosiveness, tempo, and cadence, and has stressed defenses across the field.
Jackson is already convinced.
“It’s smooth. I love it,” Jackson said. “Just know that I love it, and everyone else loves it.”
For Baltimore, that is the most important development from minicamp. Jackson is healthy, engaged, and excited about a system designed to make the Ravens more unpredictable. If Doyle's creativity matches Jackson's confidence, Baltimore's offense could quickly return to the top of the AFC.
