Outten played center in Syracuse and started for two years. He became a graduate assistant at Syracuse the next year, then spent eight seasons at a Texas high school.
He got his NFL start as an intern in 2016 with the Falcons, then spent two seasons as an offensive assistant in Atlanta. Outten then moved to Green Bay, where he became the tight end coach from 2019-21 under former Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur. Outten then followed former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to Denver when Hackett became coach of the Broncos.

Outten was the offensive coordinator all season in 2022, but did not call plays until Hackett’s departure after Week 16.
Outten, 39, had two interviews with the Ravens for their open offensive coordinator position, NFL Network reported Feb. 3.
