The Baltimore Ravens have one of the deepest (if not the deepest) tight end rooms in the NFL. Players such as Mark Andrews, Josh Oliver and Isaiah Likely have stepped up to the plate, with Charlie Kolar waiting in the wings. However, one tight end that hasn’t been talked about much in 2022 is Nick Boyle.
Boyle has seen his snap share decrease significantly in 2022, and is barely getting on the field. When asked about Boyle’s role moving forward, Baltimore tight ends coach George Godsey weighed in, making it clear that the team goes game-by-game with players and their role on the team.
“It is what it is and it’s each guy, we got [all] hands on deck. Last night, he [Nick Boyle] played a few more plays. He knows his role. He provides a lot of leadership in that group, too – a lot of experience….We see it game-by-game, each guy creates their role and we kind of go from there.”
Boyle has been a key part of what the Ravens do on offense for many years, especially in the run game. He was regarded as one of the best blocking tight ends in the NFL for a long time, but a brutal leg injury that he suffered in 2020 has been tough for the veteran to work back from. His role is a bit of a mystery, and with so many other talented tight ends on the Baltimore roster at the moment, playing time might be hard to come by for the rest of the season for Boyle.
