Ravens Hire Nic Gill From New Zealand's All Blacks Rugby Team to Be VP of Health and Performance
Nic Gill leaves the All Blacks after 18 years to lead a larger NFL health and performance team of about 25 staff in a newly created vice president role.
- Yesterday, Ravens executive vice president Eric DeCosta announced Dr. Nic Gill was hired as vice president of health and performance.
- Amid a broad offseason staff overhaul, the Ravens replaced Sam Rosengarten and sought outside expertise after firing John Harbaugh, prompting the rugby hire.
- Gill will relocate from New Zealand to Maryland to lead strength, medical, nutrition and sports science teams, saying the role is '100% & just times four' compared to six staff with the All Blacks versus about 25 in Baltimore.
- The Ravens said the hire will lead integrated efforts to optimize player health and performance, aiming to improve availability and readiness ahead of free agency and roster construction.
- The move underscores how the All Blacks' reputation helped Gill land the NFL role and highlights growing cross‑sport recruitment, with Gill leaving after 18 years, according to sources.
