Notes: Ozzie says Hue ready; Pumping up Hill; Shazier hit under scrutiny?

INDIANAPOLIS _ Ozzie Newsome, the Ravens general manager who brought Hue Jackson back into the AFC North eight years ago, had no time to worry about Jackson’s impact on the toughest division in football when he was named the Browns head coach last month.

But after Jackson’s two stints with the Bengals that included forays into defense and special teams and one as the Ravens quarterback coach who pushed for the drafting of quarterback Joe Flacco, Newsome knows it is a formidable hire.

“I try not to worry too much about the 31 other teams. I worry about the Baltimore Ravens because that’s the team that I have

some control over,” Newsome said Wednesday at the NFL scouting combine.
