When the Baltimore Ravens set out to rebuild their offensive line this offseason, they had one thing in mind: bring back the attitude. And John Simpson is ready to deliver.

The veteran guard recently opened up about how his mentality on the field has transformed over the past few seasons. While he insists he's still the same guy off the gridiron, Simpson admits that between the lines, he plays with a whole new level of swagger and confidence. "I talk a lot of trash now," he shared on The Lounge podcast. "I get into it a little bit. I get rowdy sometimes out there."

That edge didn't come out of nowhere. Simpson credits fatherhood for part of the shift—he went from having no kids in 2023 to two now—and that change in perspective has fueled a more aggressive playing style. For Ravens fans, this is music to their ears. Baltimore's most dominant offenses have always thrived on physicality and emotion up front, and Simpson sounds ready to help restore that identity.

Whether it's a key block in the run game or some well-timed words in a scrum, Simpson is bringing the toughness back to the Ravens' O-line—one trash-talking play at a time.
