Baltimore Ravens star tight end Mark Andrews is still among the NFL's best in the red zone
Although Baltimore Ravens tight-end Mark Andrews let a pivotal two-point conversion catch slip away on Jan. 19, quarterback Lamar Jackson still knows that Andrews made essential contributions to his historic 2024 NFL season.
Andrews tallied 11 touchdown catches last season to lead his team, ranking No. 4 in the NFL in that category. Andrews is also not given enough credit for his edifying effect on tight-end Isaiah Likely, who has matured into a very efficient pass catcher and run-blocker in the team offense.
Heading into the 2025 season, Andrews will hold the No. 1 designation on the depth chart. As far as training camp goes, Andrews will enjoy reps working primarily to re-establish the run-blocking scheme with teammate tight-end Charlie Kolar while Likely heals from foot surgery. Andrews possesses a dual-threat ability to operate as a run-blocker and pass catcher, excelling in both categories for the franchise.
Ultimately, Andrews has decided to put the mishap behind him, carrying on with optimism and devotion. Jackson has a tenured trust with Andrews, and statistics suggest that the tandem may only improve this upcoming NFL season.
