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 our) purposes a franchise that has a history dating back to 1996, and any activities before that are not relevant to 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 2024 regular season.

Note: Football lists are based on an amalgamation of tenure, traditional statistics, advanced statistics, playoff statistics, and post-season accolades.
Selected in the sixth round (186th overall) of the 2000 NFL Draft out of Southern Miss, Adalius Thomas arrived in Baltimore as a raw, multi-sport athlete who had played both football and basketball in college. Over seven seasons in Baltimore, he evolved into the ultimate defensive chameleon—a matchup nightmare whose rare athleticism allowed Rex Ryan and Brian Billick to deploy…
Originally drafted in the seventh round of the 1993 NFL Draft by Seattle, Michael McCrary joined the Ravens in 1997 as a free agent. Playing with a nonstop motor and violent, high-energy effort, he became the ultimate edge-setting motor for Baltimore's burgeoning defense, establishing a template for how a Ravens pass rusher should play. McCrary did not possess the extensive…
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…
Drafted 31st overall in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft out of Arizona State, Todd Heap arrived in Baltimore as the handpicked successor to Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. Over the next decade, "Heap" became a household name in Maryland, serving as the primary passing target and fan-favorite focal point during an era defined by stellar defense and…
Kelly Gregg was selected in the sixth round of the 1999 NFL Draft by Cincinnati but was released before playing any regular-season games in Ohio. After brief stints with Philadelphia and on Baltimore's practice squad, he proved his resilience by competing in NFL Europe with the Rhein Fire, eventually becoming a regular in Maryland. At 6 feet tall and 320…
Playing his college ball at Missouri Southern, Brandon Williams and his wide base was named the Defensive Player of the Year of the MIAA.  Williams was a 3rd Round Pick in 2013 by the Ravens and by 2014 he would become the starting Nose Tackle.  Still with Baltimore as of this writing, Williams was chosen to his first Pro Bowl…
Drafted in the 12th round (329th overall) of the 1990 NFL Draft by the New York Giants out of Louisiana Tech, Matt Stover spent his entire rookie year on injured reserve before signing with the Cleveland Browns in 1991. When the franchise relocated to Maryland in 1996, Stover followed, establishing himself over the next 13 seasons as the original clutch…
Drafted in the fifth round (129th overall) of the 1990 NFL Draft by Cleveland out of Syracuse, Rob Burnett established himself as an edge anchor over six seasons in Ohio, earning a Pro Bowl selection in 1994. When the organization relocated to Maryland in 1996, Burnett made the move, providing the Baltimore Ravens with six additional years of steady leadership…
Undrafted out of Southern Illinois in 2002, Bart Scott signed with Baltimore as a relative unknown, earning a spot on the roster strictly through his fiery, relentless motor on special teams. Over seven seasons in Maryland, "Can't Wait" transformed from an unheralded long shot into one of the most feared, high-octane linebackers in football. Scott infused Baltimore's linebacking corps with…
Drafted 14th overall in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame—where he was a Consensus All-American—Kyle Hamilton brought rare unicorn traits to Baltimore's secondary. Standing 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 224 pounds, he disrupted traditional positional labels, quickly establishing himself as a foundational piece of the Ravens' modern defensive framework. Hamilton blends the size…
Taken in the third round (88th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Nicholls State, Lardarius Webb overcame lower-division obscurity with elite top-end speed and natural ball skills. Over nine seasons in Maryland, Webb evolved into one of the most reliable and versatile defensive backs in franchise history, transitioning from a dynamic return man and lockdown boundary corner to…
From Texas A&M, Nnamdi Madubuike did not see that much playing time in his rookie year (2020), but proved he could compete for a starting Defensive Lineman position in his second season.  Showing gradual improvement, Madubuike broke out in 2023 with a 13-Sack/33 Quarterback Hit year and a reputation as one of the game’s best disruptors.  Madubuike earned a Second…
Jarret Johnson was considered by many to be an underrated player in the NFL, but those in Baltimore knew that they had a solid performer to compliment the team’s Linebacker corps. He would play 143 Games for the Ravens providing an even 20.0 Sacks and 402 Combined Tackles.
A member of that potent Ravens defense that won Super Bowl XXXV, Jamie Sharper was part of the Linebacking corps that terrorized offenses in the NFL. The older brother of Darren Sharper, Jamie would record over 300 Tackles as a Raven and would later lead the NFL in combined tackles in 2003 as a member of the Houston Texans.  Sharper…
Eric Weddle had already gone to three Pro Bowls as a San Diego Charger and he would match that in Baltimore, but this time he would do it in three years.  That was also the amount of time that he patrolled the Ravens’ secondary, the first year being at Strong Safety and the second and third season seeing him switch…
Sam Koch was one of the few punters to be drafted (he played his college ball at Nebraska) and the choice has proven well for Baltimore, the team he played the enitrety of his 16 NFL Seasons.  Koch would make the Pro Bowl in 2015 and to date has been in the top ten in Yards per Punt four times.…

Although Michael Oher is known more known for being the focus of a Sandra Bullock movie, he was a more than capable Offensive Tackle for the Baltimore Ravens and started all 80 games he played at Tackle for the team. Oher helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII.
Tony Siragusa was more popular than he was good, but he was more than good enough to earn a spot here.  Playing for the Ravens for the last five years of his career, Siragusa was a member of that Super Bowl XXXV winning defense and it helped propel him into a successful post-NFL career.
Jermaine Lewis has the distinction of being one of the most (if not the most) versatile player on this list of the best ever Baltimore Ravens, and with two Pro Bowls and a First Team All-Pro Selection under his belt, he was certainly well decorated.  Lewis would record over 8,000 All-Purpose Yards as a Raven and would also lead the…
