Ravens add Dr. Nic Gill for outside perspective on sports performance

The Baltimore Ravens hired Dr. Nic Gill as VP of Health & Performance, bringing an 'outside perspective' to the team.

Elliott Welcomes Dr. Nic Gill’s Outside Perspective The Baltimore Ravens added to their performance staff this offseason, hiring Dr. Nic Gill as Vice President of Health & Performance.

Director of Strength and Conditioning Scott Elliott said Gill's experience outside the NFL brings a different perspective to the building. The newly created role will oversee strength and conditioning, medical, nutrition, and sports science within a single, fully integrated system. Known as "Gilly,” he brings more than two decades of elite high-performance experience, including nearly 20 years with the New Zealand All Blacks.

"[Having Dr. Nic Gill here has been] wonderful – exciting, to be honest with you. That speaks to the organization as a whole.

I honestly – and I'm biased, [as] I'm standing up here in front of you guys, I'm biased – we're the best culture in the NFL and even in sport. And to your point, bringing in the VP that's outside of our sport gives us an opportunity to find ways to evolve and have an outside expert in their field that's got years of experience that can come in and either look for ways to evolve, look for ways to confirm or change where necessary. I think that's going to be huge.
