This is history and it is worth celebrating!
According to reports, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback room has made history as they now have all-black quarterbacks and coaches. It is believed that this is the first time something like this is happening in the NFL. I see this to be normal though.
The Baltimore Ravens are making history in 2023.
The Baltimore Ravens have an all-Black quarterback group along with coaches, believed to be the first time in NFL history.
“So, what the Ravens have right now is definitely groundbreaking, even in 2023,” The Baltimore Banner mentioned. “The significance of it is that we are now in the era of the Black quarterback in the NFL.”
According to ‘The Baltimore Banner’ report, the group represents progress for a league that had excluded Black people from football’s most important position for decades.
HISTORY: The Baltimore #Ravens quarterback group is entirely black, with 4 Black quarterbacks and two coaches.
This is believed to be the first all black QB room in #NFL history.
“It’s a step forward for people like us, but we’ve got to do a good job.”

There have been relatively few starting Black quarterbacks in NFL history so what the Ravens are doing is absolutely astounding to have the entire group be black. The group includes quarterbacks Tyler Huntley and Lamar Jackson, as well as Anthony Brown.
The group is also led by two Black coaches: Coach Kerry Dixon and quarterbacks Coach Tee Martin.
Lamar Jackson missed time last season, but the Ravens still managed 10 wins to reach the playoffs. They would get bounced in their Wild Card matchup and all hell would break loose when Jackson demanded a trade over not getting what he thought he deserved with a new contract.
He eventually got his contract as well as new help when the team went out and signed WR Odell Beckham Jr. Things are looking up for the Ravens in 2023.

Well, since it seems to be historic, let’s all celebrate and make it worth it. I wish to see more of this in the other NFL teams because black players have contributed immensely to making NFL what it is today.
