As one of John Harbaugh's original coaching hires (2008), Ver Steeg has assisted Ravens' offenses in numerous capacities, including as a senior offensive assistant during their 2012 Super Bowl XLVII campaign. Most recently, Ver Steeg enjoyed a five-year (2018-22) stint leading Baltimore's running backs, implementing a ground game that ranked amongst the Top 3 in rushing yards each season, and in 2020, produced the third-most rushing yards in a 16-game NFL season (3,071). From 2018-21, Baltimore rushed for 100-plus yards in 43 consecutive games, tying for the longest streak in NFL history (Pit. 43 – 1974-77). Prior to entering the NFL ranks with Baltimore in 2008, Ver Steeg coached collegiately for 23 years, launching his career as a graduate assistant at USC (1984-85), where he earned his undergraduate degree from in 1983 and received his master's degree in education from in 1986. A native of Redondo Beach, CA, Ver Steeg played defensive back and wrestled all four years at Redondo Union (Redondo Beach, CA) HS, later assisting with the football program (1980-82) while studying just 20 miles north at USC. He and his wife, Lisa, have a son, Ian (20), who's a sophomore wide receiver at Wake Forest.
