Ravens Target Legendary Virginia Coach for Key Quarterback Role

The Ravens are eyeing a seasoned offensive mind with deep NFL roots as they look to bolster their quarterback development.

Ronald Curry’s football journey has always been one worth watching. From high school phenom in Virginia to dual-sport standout at North Carolina, and now a respected voice in NFL quarterback rooms, Curry’s trajectory continues to trend upward-and the Baltimore Ravens have taken notice.

According to reports, the Ravens have requested an interview with Curry for their quarterbacks coach position. With Declan Doyle already locked in as offensive coordinator, Baltimore is clearly looking to round out its offensive staff with someone who brings both experience and a proven track record of player development. Curry fits that bill.

At 46, Curry’s coaching résumé is as layered as his playing career. He spent four seasons under Sean Payton in New Orleans, first as the Saints’ wide receivers coach from 2018 to 2020, then transitioning to quarterbacks coach in 2021-Payton’s final year with the team. That move wasn’t just a title change; it marked a shift in Curry’s coaching focus and gave him a front-row seat to the intricacies of NFL quarterback play.

After his time in New Orleans, Curry joined Sean McDermott’s staff in Buffalo, where he took on the role of quarterbacks coach. And that’s where things really started to click.

Curry played a key role in Josh Allen’s MVP campaign in 2024, helping guide one of the league’s most physically gifted quarterbacks to new heights in terms of decision-making, accuracy, and efficiency. That kind of development doesn’t happen by accident-it speaks to Curry’s ability to connect with players and elevate their game.

There’s still a possibility Curry stays in Buffalo and continues working with Joe Brady’s offensive staff. But if the Ravens are able to bring him in, they’d be getting a coach who understands the quarterback position from multiple angles-former NFL receiver, seasoned assistant, and someone who’s coached in both wideout and QB rooms at the highest level.

Curry’s roots go deep. He was a high school All-American in both football and basketball, setting the stage for the next generation of Virginia talent-names like Michael Vick followed in his footsteps.

At UNC, he played point guard on the hardwood alongside Julius Peppers while also starring on the football field. That kind of athletic versatility and leadership has always been part of his DNA.

Now, as teams like the Ravens look to build staffs that can maximize their young quarterbacks, Curry’s name is rightfully in the mix. He’s not just a former player turned coach-he’s a developer of talent, a communicator, and someone who’s earned respect across the league. If Baltimore lands him, they’re getting more than a position coach-they’re getting a difference-maker.
