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 win and it is no accident that during his tenure in Baltimore they had one of the NFL’s better defenses.

Ngata had 25.5 Sacks and 447 Tackles for Baltimore and in 2021, he entered their Ring of Honor.

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 before the 2019 season.  The exceptionally versatile defender would be selected for seven Pro Bowls and was a key figure in the Ravens Super Bowl XLVII championship.  Suggs would leave Baltimore having played 229 Games and is one of the best defensive players in franchise history.

Suggs played for Baltimore for sixteen seasons (2003-18), and his 132.5 Sacks and 229 Games are the most in franchise history.  He is set to enter the Ravens Ring of Honor in 2022.

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.

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.
