Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter led players in a rendition of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” during a team dinner in Minnesota, a moment captured on a social media livestream by wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane, according to the clip.
Wearing an untucked button-down shirt, the 43-year-old coach delivered verse after verse while players circled him and joined in shouting lyrics, creating a standout moment during the team’s week in Minnesota.
The dinner followed joint practices and a preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, part of a stretch that players described as a bonding experience. Lane posted the impromptu performance on his livestream, drawing attention to what teammates called an unforgettable evening.
Minter had previously said he would choose Eminem if he could attend only one concert, telling fans that at a public event four months earlier. He was named the fourth head coach in Ravens history in January, succeeding John Harbaugh after 18 seasons.
Players have spoken all summer about the new energy and positive vibes Minter has brought to the organization, and teammates said the dinner — where a rap replaced a typical pep talk — reflected that atmosphere.
