gold star for USAHOF

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.

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

 

2023: Pre-Season Rank: #123. Peak Period: 2019-23

Andrews has emerged as one of the top receiving Tight Ends in the 2020s, having been a First Team All-Pro in 2021 and securing three Pro Bowls in his six years of NFL service. Last year, Andrews suffered an injury that derailed his season, but a healthy Andrews in 2024 could be named to his second First Team All-Pro and help anchor the Ravens to a Super Bowl.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 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 not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Baltimore made it into the playoffs, but only made it one game in. 2022 yielded two new entrants to the Top 50, and four elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Ray Lewis

2. Ed Reed

3. Jonathan Ogden

4. Terrell Suggs

5. Marshall Yanda

You can find the entire list here.

Place Kicker, Justin Tucker, rises one spot to #8. He added his sixth Pro Bowl this year.

Quarterback, Lamar Jackson, who resigned with the Ravens, inched up one rank to #10.

Cornerback, Marlon Humphrey, climbed to #23 from #34. He went to his third Pro Bowl last year.

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.

A Raven for five years (as of this writing), Mark Andrews has shown excellent value as a former Third Round Pick.

Andrews was low in the depth chart coming out of his rookie camp, but he when he got the ball, he proved that he was a future TE1, cracking 500 Yards as a rookie.  The former Oklahoma Sooner was a Pro Bowl as a sophomore on the strength of an 852 Yard/10 Touchdown season, and while his numbers dipped in 2020, he rebounded with 1,361 Yards and 9 TDs.  Last year, he added a third Pro Bowl (847 Yards/6 TD), and was on his way to a fourth in 2023 before injuries derailed his season after ten Games.  Last year, he had a career-high 11 touchdowns, but his yardage was under 700.

If Andrews can reclaim a spot as one of the top Tight Ends in the NFL, his ranking will climb up quickly.
