Top 50 Baltimore Ravens

You have to feel for the city of Cleveland when you discuss the Baltimore Ravens.

You know the story. Cleveland Browns owner, Art Modell, relocated the team to Baltimore in 1996 and as part of the settlement with the city of Cleveland the history and logo of the Browns remained in Northern Ohio. This renders for historical (and for our) purposes a franchise that has a history that begins in 1996 and anything done prior to that has nothing to do with our list.

The Baltimore Ravens accomplished what the original (and current) incarnation has failed to do. They are two time Super Bowl Champions (XXXV) and (XLVII) and fit in just fine in the AFC North, one of the most bruising divisions in the National Football League.

This list is up to the end of the 2022 regular season.

Note: Football lists are based on an amalgamation of tenure, traditional statistics, advanced statistics, playoff statistics and post-season accolades.
Could it really be anyone else? The first ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee did everything a fan could a Ravens fan could ask for. The charismatic Linebacker was on both Super Bowl Championship Teams and was named the MVP in his first one.
You can’t think of ballhawks in the 2000s without thinking of the name, Ed Reed. The cerebral Safety seems to know what the Quarterback was going to do before he did and it was no fluke that three times he would lead the National Football League in Interceptions.
The first ever draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens was one of the best first ever picks of any sport, and one that was debated within the fanbase as Offenisve Lineman were not generally taken so high. It was an excellent choice for the team and would become a long time anchor for the Ravens O-Line.
The third player in Baltimore Ravens history to win the AP Defensive Player of the Year, Terrell Suggs is the all-time franchise leader in Quarterback Sacks with 131.5 and in Forced Fumbles with 33. Suggs was also the Defensive Rookie of the Year (2003) and he would play for the Ravens for 16 seasons before signing with the Arizona Cardinals…
While Marshal Yanda may always be the “second best Offensive Lineman” after Jonathan Ogden in Baltimore Ravens history, he has proven himself to be more than effective as an anchor on the front line.
For a five-year period (2009-13_, Haloti Ngata was part of the elite group of Defensive Tackles. Ngata was a First Team All-Pro twice, a five-time Pro Bowl Selection and was known for his ability to adapt to multiple defensive schemes.  A Raven for his first nine seaons (2006-14), Ngati was a very big part of the Ravens second Super Bowl…
While he is sometimes considering a polarizing Quarterback, and there have been many who have debated as to whether he is elite or not, Joe Flacco did lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl win (where he was named the MVP) and has put up really good numbers while doing it. Flacco would play Quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens from…

Still with the Baltimore Ravens as of this writing, Justin Tucker has been one of the most accurate Place Kickers since he was signed as an undrafted Free Agent out of the University of Texas in 2012.  Tucker has only missed four Extra Points since he began his pro career and he has a 91.1 Field Goal Percentage.  A member…
For a few years, Chris McAlister was one of the most explosive Cornerbacks in the National Football League and also one of the most entertaining. A three-time Pro Bowler, McAlister led the NFL Interception Return Yards in 2000 and was a First Team All-Pro Selection in 2003. Sadly, he would become more famous or losing his money quickly.A Raven for…
Is it too soon to rank Lamar Jackson this high? It might be too low!
A brilliant pass rusher, Peter Boulware was a key member of that legendary Ravens defense that won Super Bowl XXXV. The linebacker was named the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1997 and would go on to four Pro Bowls. Had Bowulware not had shoulder issues, he might have been able to come up with a few more years…
The current Ravens all-time leader in Rushing Yards, Jamal Lewis played six seasons with the team where he exceeded the 1,000 Rushing Yard mark five times, one of which is 2003, saw him break 2,000 Yards. In that magical campaign, he was named the AP Offensive Player of the Year and was also the NFL Alumni Running Back of the…
An NCAA Champion and SEC Defensive Player of the Year, C.J. Mosley would be a 1st Round Draft Pick by the Ravens in 2014 and was an instant success going to the Pro Bowl and earning a Second Team All-Pro nod.  Mosley was a tackling industry recording over 100 Combined Tackles in four of his five seasons with Baltimore and…
We all know that it did not end well for Ray Rice in Baltimore (or in the NFL for that matter) but fact remains that he was one of the better Running Backs in the NFL for a four-year span and he earned all three of those Pro Bowl selections.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Adalius Thomas might just be the most versatile player in Baltimore Ravens history. Thomas, who was also a  one-time First Team All-Pro Selection was part of not just a special Ravens defense but was a member of a potent special teams attack early in his Ravens tenure.Thomas recorded 38.5 Sacks for the Ravens.
Michael McCrary was a relentless pass rusher who pound for pound made the most of everything he had. He was rewarded with two trips to the Pro Bowl and the attitude he exhibited on the field was shown off of it as shown by his 2001 win of the “Whizzer” White NFL Man of the Year Award.  McCrary recorded 51.0…
While 2009 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee had the best part of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Woodson was a still a force to be recognized in Baltimore. In the four years he played there, the Defensive Back would help Baltimore win the Super Bowl (which did not happen in Pittsburgh), still made another Second Team All-Pro squad,…
While Derrick Mason was not a member of any Baltimore Raven Super Bowl-winning team, nor did he make the Pro Bowl in Baltimore (though he did in Tennessee twice) he was a very good Wide Receiver and was a primary target for Joe Flacco. Mason would amass close to 6,000 Yards Receiving in Baltimore and was the first player in…
As of this writing, Todd Heap has the most Receiving Touchdowns in Ravens history and is considered to be the best Tight End ever to wear a Batimore uniform. Heap was not part of any of the Ravens Super Bowl wins, but was a major offensive threat and a crowd favorite, especially during times when there was not as much…
