Ravens HC Jesse Minter channels his inner rap star in front of his players

First-year Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter electrified the team recently by channeling his inner rap star with a surprising performance for his players. During a team outing, Minter broke into an impromptu rap session, setting the stage with Eminem's hit "Lose Yourself." The 43-year-old, who took over the coaching reins in Baltimore this past offseason, held the crowd of his players captive as he delivered the performance.

Cheerful and at ease, Minter's players responded with applause and encouragement. This glimpse into Minter's personality offers a unique contrast to his serious, no-nonsense approach to coaching the Ravens. Minter's foray into the world of hip-hop began a few seasons ago after he left his role as defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers.

Before his time in Los Angeles, Minter spent three seasons with the Ravens as a defensive assistant and then as defensive backs coach. He began his coaching career at Notre Dame in 2006, working his way up through various roles in the college football landscape. The 43-year-old's career path has been a long and winding road, but his appointment as the fourth head coach in Baltimore franchise history has proven to be a bold and exciting choice.
