Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is entering the 2025 season as the undisputed top option at his position after Isaiah Likely’s departure to the New York Giants and Charlie Kolar’s signing with the Los Angeles Chargers. The offseason moves have left Andrews as the only tight end from the Ravens’ final season under former head coach John Harbaugh, setting the stage for a prominent role under new head coach Jesse Minter and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle.
Andrews, who has long considered himself the team’s primary tight end, expressed confidence that the revamped offensive scheme will play to his strengths. Speaking to the team’s official website, he said, “I don’t think that ever changes. But I’m excited for [Likely] and his opportunity. I’m excited for Charlie and his opportunity. I’m going to continue to get better and grow my game, and I think there’s going to be a lot of opportunities in this offense.”
The 28-year-old veteran recorded 48 receptions for 422 yards and five touchdowns last season, marking his lowest yardage total since his rookie year in 2018. Despite the dip in production, Andrews is optimistic about a rebound in 2025, citing the potential for increased involvement in the new system.
Andrews’ consistency and experience make him a key component of the Ravens’ offensive rebuild. His ability to adapt to different schemes has been a hallmark of his career, and with the departure of his primary competition, he is poised to see a larger share of targets in the passing game.
As Baltimore transitions to a new coaching staff and offensive philosophy, Andrews’ leadership and on-field performance will be closely watched. The Ravens open their preseason schedule in August, with the regular season kicking off in September.
