Five years ago, Ravens Owner Steve Biscoitti approached Ozzie Newsome during their meeting at the owner’s house in Florida with the succession plan at general manager. Now, here we are, one year away.
“Five years are going really, really fast,” Newsome said Friday morning.
Newsome would probably prefer not to talk about the pending change. For the time being, nothing is different, and Newsome would rather work (and watch prospects) than talk about himself. That’s just who he is.
But it was Newsome’s year to speak with reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine, so he took to the microphone to discuss the massive organizational switch to Eric DeCosta, share insight on his own role moving forward and reflect.
