Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill produced four touchdowns under offensive coordinator Todd Monken last season. How will Monken deploy Hill with all-pro Derrick Henry now on the roster this season?

Monken will likely defer to quarterback Lamar Jackson when Henry isn’t getting his expected high-volume carries. However, that doesn’t mean Hill won’t be a vital component to the Ravens on offense.
Hill can be used deceptively in 21 personnel, operating as a pass catcher on short routes and screenplays. Moreover, Hill may be the best option for the Ravens on third down, especially in obvious passing situations.
Too fast for most opposing defensive linebackers, Hill will only improve by getting reps in training camp behind Henry. He’ll also be sharpened by lining up versus all-pro linebacker Roquan Smith.
Having played under numerous offensive coordinators, Hill will get a 2nd straight season with Monken, a coach well aware of his attributes. At age 26, Hill understands his role and is enthusiastic about a chance to get back to it this fall.
