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…
Winning the Rimington Trophy as college football’s top center, Tyler Linderbaum from Iowa was selected 25th overall in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Linderbaum arrived in Baltimore with high expectations and immediately fulfilled them. Stepping directly into the starting lineup as a rookie, he quickly established himself as the anchor of the Ravens' offensive line, providing elite…
Selected in the fourth round (109th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft out of Alabama—where he left as one of the most decorated defensive linemen in Crimson Tide history—Jarret Johnson arrived in Baltimore as a relentless, high-motor defender. Converting from defensive end to outside linebacker in Rex Ryan’s complex defensive system, Johnson became the ultimate unheralded anchor on an edge…
A third-round pick (71st overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft from Texas A&M, Nnamdi Madubuike arrived in Baltimore as a quick, muscular interior project with high-end explosive traits. After an apprenticeship during his rookie campaign, Madubuike steadily carved out a role on Baltimore’s interior defensive front, developing into one of the most destructive interior pass rushers in professional football. Madubuike…
Drafted in the second round (34th overall) of the 1997 NFL Draft out of Virginia, Jamie Sharper arrived in Baltimore as a long, athletic linebacker built for modern defensive schemes. Operating alongside Ray Lewis and Peter Boulware, Sharper formed one of the most formidable linebacking corps in NFL history, serving as a versatile, playmaking anchor during the franchise's initial rise…
Signed as a marquee free agent in 2016 after nine stellar seasons with the San Diego Chargers—where he was already a three-time Pro Bowler—Eric Weddle arrived in Baltimore and seamlessly took command of the secondary.

Selected in the sixth round (203rd overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft out of Nebraska, Sam Koch arrived in Baltimore as one of the rare punters taken in the draft. Over a remarkable 16-season tenure spent entirely in Charm City, Koch revolutionized special teams across the league by pioneering new directional punting techniques, solidifying his status as a foundational pillar…
The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama, Derrick Henry established himself as one of the most dominant force-of-nature running backs of his generation across eight stellar seasons with the Tennessee Titans. When he signed with Baltimore in March 2024, expectations were high, but few foresaw the thermonuclear detonation that his pairing with Lamar Jackson would inflict upon the rest of…
Signed by the Ravens in 1997 after seven seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, Tony "Goose" Siragusa brought a boisterous personality and a heavy physical presence to Charm City. Operating as the ultimate unsung dirty-work anchor on the interior defensive line, Siragusa spent his final five professional seasons keeping offensive line blockers off Baltimore's linebackers and helping turn the defense into…
