Three-time All Pro safety Kyle Hamilton was relaxing playing video games when his fiancé burst into the room to inform him that Harbaugh had been fired. His initial reaction was similar to his teammates with being shocked followed by a period of reflection about the times they shared together over the past four years since he was take No. 14 overall in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
"You start thinking about all the personal moments you had and I'm excited for him and excited for us," Hamilton said. "I think he's got a good opportunity up there in New York."
As much love as they all still have for Harbaugh, they are equally looking forward to embarking on the next era of Ravens football with new head coach Jesse Minter.
"We're all excited," Flowers said. "We all got new opportunities to start over."

Hamilton jokingly claimed that Harbaugh "stole" a lot of their players, but that he was spot on, as a chunk of the Giants' resources in free agency was allocated to bringing several of his former teammates to New York. That list already consisted of punter Jordan Stout, fullback Patrick Ricard, tight end Isaiah Likely, and safety Ar'Darius Washington. Now, it includes former starting offensive lineman Daniel Faalele, who signed a one-year deal with the Giants.

Faalele was originally drafted by the Ravens in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Minnesota as an offensive tackle, but spent the past two years of his career starting all 36 games for the Ravens at right guard, including the 2024 playoffs. In his first year as a full-time starter, he rounded into a Pro Bowl alternate, but he significantly regressed last year and will be looking to bounce back with the only head coach he has ever known.
"Those guys will do great up there as well," Hamilton said. "Everything has got an expiration date and [Harbaugh] did great stuff while he was here."
The losses of Likely, Ricard and blocking specialist Charlie Kolar to the Los Angeles Chargers were tough pills to swallow for Andrews, in particular, given that it gutted his position group and meant some of his closest friends would be playing elsewhere, but he's excited for them nonetheless.
"Those guys worked have their butts off," Andrews said. "They put in the work and they saw the reward and I'm excited for them to go out there and prove [to] everybody again and again."
