Richard Angulo enters his fourth season with the Jacksonville Jaguars as tight ends coach and his 12th season coaching in the NFL in 2025.
Under Angulo's guidance in 2024, TE Evan Engram logged his eighth consecutive season with more than 40 receptions (47) in just nine games played, making him one of three tight ends in the NFL since 1970 to record at least 40 receptions in each of their first eight seasons. Since Angulo's first season in 2022, Engram ranks second in receptions (234) and fifth in receiving yards (2,094) among tight ends.
Angulo also facilitated the development of second-year TE Brenton Strange, who set career highs in receptions (40), receiving yards (411) and receiving touchdowns (two) last season. In Week 15 against the New York Jets, Strange recorded single-game career highs in receptions (11) and receiving yards (73). His 11 receptions tied for fifth-most in a single game in franchise history. Strange recorded seven receptions of 20-plus yards, tied for third-most in the AFC among tight ends in 2024.
In 2023, Engram earned Pro Bowl honors under Angulo and broke his previous franchise records in receptions (114) and receiving yards (963) by a tight end. Additionally, his 539 yards after catch were the most by a tight end in team history. Engram became the eighth tight end in NFL history to record at least 100 receptions in a single season and the second player in franchise history. Under Angulo's guidance, Engram joined Jeremy Shockey as the only tight ends in NFL history with 40 or more receptions and 400 receiving yards in each of their first seven seasons.
In 2022, Angulo led a tight end room that played an important part in the Jaguars' offensive success. Under Angulo, Engram set single-season franchise records in receptions (73) and receiving yards (766) by a tight end. Engram's receptions and receiving yards were also career highs.
Angulo spent the previous eight seasons in Baltimore serving as a coaching intern (2014), tight ends coach (2015-16) and assistant offensive line coach (2017-21).
In 2021, Angulo assisted a Ravens offensive line that ranked third in rushing yards (145.8 yards per game), fourth in rushes of 10-plus yards (67), fifth in total scrimmage yards (6,746) and tied-ninth in rushing TDs (18).
In 2020, Angulo helped guide an offensive line that blocked for the NFL's top-ranked rushing attack (191.9 yards per game), which averaged a league-high 5.53 yards per carry, produced the third-most rushing yards (3,071) in a 16-game NFL season and recorded a franchise-record 24 rushing TDs. The Ravens also owned the seventh-best scoring offense (29.3 points per game) and fourth-best third-down offense (48.8 percent). During the season-ending five-game winning streak to earn a playoff berth, Baltimore's league-best rushing attack gained the most rushing yards (1,337) over a five-game stretch of a single NFL season since the 1950 Giants (1,369).
In 2019, the Ravens led the NFL in points (33.2) and rushing yards per game (206.0) and finished second in total yards (407.6) en route to a franchise-best 14-2 record and a second-straight AFC North title. With help from the offensive line, the Ravens set a new NFL single-season rushing record (3,296), besting the 1978 Patriots (3,165). Baltimore became the first team to ever average 200 passing and 200 rushing yards per game in a season. The 2019 Ravens also set single-season team records for TDs (64), points (531), net yards (6,521), rushing yards (3,296), first downs (386) and fewest turnovers (15).
In 2018, Angulo helped the Ravens post the NFL's No. 2-ranked rushing attack (152.6 yards per game). In 2017, he helped guide an offensive line that permitted the league's seventh-fewest sacks (27, tied Vikings).
From 2015-16, Angulo served as Baltimore's tight ends coach after being promoted from his original position of offensive coaching intern (2014). In 2016, Angulo guided the Ravens' deep tight ends corps, highlighted by TE Dennis Pitta, who led the NFL in receptions (86) by a tight end and produced the second-most (tied, WR Derrick Mason - 2005) catches in Ravens single-season history. In 2015, Angulo helped lead a young tight ends group that contributed to the league's eighth-best passing attack (266.9 yards per game) and a franchise record in net passing yards (4,271). During his first season in Baltimore as an offensive coaching intern, he helped provide statistical analysis, self-scouting reports and breakdowns of opposing defenses.
Prior to his time in Baltimore, Angulo spent two seasons as the offensive line/strength and conditioning coach at Trinity International.
Angulo is a six-year NFL veteran at the tight end position and was originally drafted in the seventh round by the St. Louis Rams in the 2003 NFL Draft. He played for four teams, including the Jaguars, where he appeared in 20 games (six starts) and caught a career-high 16 passes for 144 yards and one TD. He attended Western New Mexico University.
A native of Albuquerque, N.M., he and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Adriana and Allie.
