Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Ravens.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Ravens went 12-5, made the playoffs, but were bounced in the second round.  Despite the season's success and the franchise's relative brevity, there were no new entrants, but multiple elevations in the top 50. 

As always, we present our top five, which has seen a change in that ranking.

1. Ray Lewis
2. Ed Reed
3. Jonathan Ogden
4. Terrell Suggs
5. Lamar Jackson

You can find the entire list here. 

Jackson moved up to #5 from #6 after another phenomenal season.

Of note, Kicker Justin Tucker, who was waived after the season, was unable to move from #9.

Cornerback Marlon Humphrey climbed to #14 from #21.

Tackle Ronnie Stanley also moved up seven spots.  He is now ranked #19.

Linebacker Roquan Smith, who was chosen for his third straight First Team All-American, rocketed from #41 to #27.

Tight End Mark Andrews went to #30 from #32.

Defensive Tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, who went to the Pro Bowl last season, shot to #31 from #43.

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Ravens.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Ravens again made it to the playoffs and boasted the league MVP in Lamar Jackson.  They did not make it to the Super Bowl, but there was significant movement with two new names and five elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Ray Lewis
2. Ed Reed
3. Jonathan Ogden
4. Terrell Suggs
5. Marshal Yanda

You can find the entire list here.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who added his second MVP, moves up to #6 from #10.  With another good year, Jackson should be able to overtake Yanda to enter the top five.

Cornerback Marlon Humphrey edged up two spots to #21.

Offensive Tackle Ronnie Stanley moved up to #26 from #38.

Tight End Mark Andrews rose to #32 from #35.

The first debut is Linebacker Roquan Smith, arguably the best defensive player on the Ravens roster going into 2024.  He has not been with Baltimore for long but has already had two First Team All-Pros as a Raven.  He debuts at #41.

Now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cornerback Patrick Queen reached #42 from #46.

The second new entrant is Defensive Tackle Justin Madubuike, who was a Pro Bowl Selection for the first time comes in at #43.

Please note that Kicker Justin Tucker remains at #9.

When the Baltimore Ravens selected UCLA offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden fourth overall in the 1996 NFL Draft, general manager Ozzie Newsome made a decision that generated debate among local fans. Although running back Lawrence Phillips was still available, high drafting of offensive linemen was uncommon in the mid-90s. Newsome adhered to his "best player available" strategy and chose Ogden, making him the first-ever pick in franchise history. This selection became one of the most significant in sports franchise development.

Standing at 6 feet 9 inches and weighing 345 pounds, Ogden's rare combination of size, athleticism, and quick feet is extraordinary for a left tackle. Instead of relying solely on his size, he effectively counters edge pass rushers with his long reach, lateral quickness, and stability. In pass protection, he creates a deep, secure pocket that provides quarterbacks with extra time, making elite edge rushers almost invisible. As a run blocker, his size helps him engulf opponents, effortlessly opening B-gap lanes to support Baltimore's powerful ground game.

In his 1996 rookie season, Ogden started at left guard with veteran Tony Jones, allowing only one sack and earning All-Rookie honors. In 1997, he moved to his natural left tackle position, received his first Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro selections, beginning an impressive streak of 11 consecutive Pro Bowl nominations from 1997 to 2007.

In the 2000 season, Ogden led an offense that supported the team's formidable defense, resulting in a win in Super Bowl XXXV. His run-blocking peaked in 2003 as the main blocker for Jamal Lewis, who gained 2,066 yards, including a then-NFL record 295-yard game against Cleveland where Ogden consistently created large running lanes.

Throughout his 12 seasons with Baltimore, Ogden played 176 of 177 regular-season games. He earned four First-Team All-Pro honors (1997, 2000, 2002, 2003) and five Second-Team selections. Ogden retired in 2008 as a lifelong Raven. That same year, he was inducted into the Ravens Ring of Honor, and in 2013, he became the first franchise draftee to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Additionally, he was named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team.
