4 unusual facts about David Modell


David Modell

Modell is the son of 1960s television actress Patricia Breslin and the late television and movie actor David Orrick McDearmon (1914–1979).

From the franchise's arrival in Baltimore as the re-christened "Ravens" in 1996, to the sale of the team to Steve Bisciotti in 2003, David was primarily involved with negotiating player contracts, as well as coordinating game day operations.

During his 25-year association with the original Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens, he worked in the ticket office and in the public relations and marketing divisions.

Shortly after the Ravens' victory in Super Bowl XXXV, Modell was handed control of the team's primary day-by-day operations by his father, team owner Art, who bought the franchise (then the Cleveland Browns) in 1961.
