Ravens' P.J. Volker Receives Praise From Navy's Head Coach

[ASFN Admin]

The Baltimore Ravens hired Navy defensive coordinator P.J. Volker as safeties coach on Jesse Minter's defensive staff. And if you ask Navy head coach Brian Newberry, Baltimore is getting more than a great coach — they're getting 'no better person' than Volker.”

Newberry called Volker' one of my very best friends' and said there wasn't a better person on his staff. Here's what he said about Volker's character and coaching ability.

"Honestly, hard to lose him, professionally... He did such a good job as coordinator...there's no better person on our staff than P.J. Volker. Phenomenal football coach, hard working, detailed, family man, and that's where his priority is, but just a phenomenal human being, one of my very best friends, which makes it very hard to lose him. Fortunately, he's not moving across the country. They are going to stay roughly close, and the opportunity is unique for him. It's a great opportunity for him to work for Jesse Minter. I think he may know and is one of his best friends, went to school together, coached together at previous stops, but him to not have to move his girls out of the schools that they are in. It's going to be a little bit of a commute for P.J., but the Ravens are getting a great one. He's a guy that the players are going to love; he's going to pour into those guys, he's a servant leader. Just a phenomenal coach and person.

Volker's coaching résumé is impressive, but Newberry made it clear that his character is what truly sets him apart. Now, Volker gets his chance on the NFL stage, and Baltimore is getting someone his former program didn't want to lose.
