Macdonald is in his second season with Baltimore after serving as the University of Michigan’s DC under new Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh in 2021. Before that, he had a previous stint with the Ravens from 2014-2020, working his way from defensive assistant to defensive backs and linebackers coach.
The Ravens’ defense limited Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to 17 points in Sunday’s AFC title game. Baltimore finished the 2023 regular season ranked No. 1 in scoring defense, surrendering just 16.5 points per game.
