Is it too soon to rank Lamar Jackson this high?

It might be too low!

30. Eric Weddle

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 back to Free Safety, his more natural position.  During his three years with Baltimore (2016-18) Weddle was arguably one of the most consistent Safeties during that timeframe.
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 in 2018, but there does not look to be a second Pro Bowl in his future.

Saying that, Williams, has proven himself as one of the better players in franchise history.
Still with the Baltimore Ravens as of this writing, Justin Tucker has been one of the most accurate Place Kickers since he was signed as an undrafted Free Agent out of the University of Texas in 2012. 

Tucker has only missed four Extra Points since he began his pro career and he has a 90.3 Field Goal Percentage.  A member of the Super Bowl XLVII Championship Team, Tucker has been named to five First Team All-Pro rosters and seven Pro Bowls.  He also set a record in 2021 with the longest Field Goal Kick ever with 66 Yards.

If there is an active Kicker who should get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it is Tucker
