For a few years, Chris McAlister was one of the most explosive Cornerbacks in the National Football League and also one of the most entertaining. A three-time Pro Bowler, McAlister led the NFL Interception Return Yards in 2000 and was a First Team All-Pro Selection in 2003. Sadly, he would become more famous or losing his money quickly.

A Raven for ten of his eleven seasons, McAlister recorded 26 Interceptions, and another three in the postseason.  He was also a large part of Baltimore's first Super Bowl win in 2000.

While he is sometimes considering a polarizing Quarterback, and there have been many who have debated as to whether he is elite or not, Joe Flacco did lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl win (where he was named the MVP) and has put up really good numbers while doing it. Flacco would play Quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens from 2008 to 2018 where he would play 163 Games with 212 Touchdown Passes with 38,245 Yards

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.
