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 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.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Tight End, Mark Andrews, moved to #35 from #44. Like Humphrey, Andrews added his third Pro Bowl in 2022.

The two new entries are Offensive Lineman, Ronnie Stanley and Linebacker, Patrick Queen. They debut at #39 and #46 respectively.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Fresh off winning a College Football National Championship for LSU as the game's Defensive MVP, Patrick Queen was drafted 28th Overall in 2020 by Baltimore as an explosive off-ball linebacker. Inserting immediate speed into the second level of Baltimore’s 3-4 defense, Queen became an instant centerpiece in the interior.

Queen’s game was founded on exceptional athletic prowess, demonstrated by a 4.50-second 40-yard dash, enabling him to move effectively to the perimeter. Primarily functioning as an off-ball linebacker, he demonstrated excellence in pursuing plays from behind, blitzing through interior gaps, and utilizing his closing speed to reduce yards gained after the catch. 

Queen joined the starting lineup immediately as a rookie in 2020, playing all 16 regular-season games. He led the defense with 106 total tackles (66 solo), along with 3.0 sacks, nine tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and a 53-yard fumble recovery touchdown against Cincinnati, earning a spot on the PFWA All-Rookie Team. In 2021, he improved with 98 tackles (including 10 tackles for loss) while starting every game.

In 2022, Queen took another leap forward, recording a then-career-high 117 tackles, 5.0 sacks, nine tackles for loss, and two interceptions. Paired with Roquan Smith midway through the season, Queen's efficiency skyrocketed as he was freed to trigger downhill and attack opposing backfields.

Queen achieved the peak of his Baltimore career in 2023, his contract year. He played all 17 games, setting career highs with 133 total tackles (84 solo), 3.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, six passes defensed, and an interception. This breakout season led to his first Pro Bowl selection and Second-Team All-Pro honors, reinforcing a Ravens defense that permitted the fewest points per game (16.5) in the NFL.

Following the 2023 campaign, Queen departed in free agency, signing a multi-year deal with division rival Pittsburgh.  In Baltimore, Queen started all 67 regular-season games he played, accumulating 454 total tackles (297 solo), 13.5 sacks, 37 tackles for loss, 33 quarterback hits, and four interceptions.
