Baltimore Beatdown
PFF created an All-PFF team based on the last 25 years and multiple Ravens earned a spot
With the 2025 season on the cusp, the analytic outlet Pro Football Focus (PFF) has released its All-PFF team for the last 25 years of play. Hate them or swear by them, PFF has been a consistent grading platform for NFL play since they began grading games in 2006.
I find that PFF is generally pretty accurate between both trenches and offensive play, but it’s harder to accurately grade defensive plays without knowing the call — making their grading system on defensive players a little more subjective.
Either way, PFF is a respected and fun part of the NFL media space. The All-PFF team had the expected greats such as Tom Brady at quarterback, Rob Gronkowski at tight end, Aaron Donald at interior defensive line, and many others. The Ravens themselves had four players make the team as starters and an ex-Raven make the team as an honorable mention.
Henry’s inclusion as the highest-graded running back in PFF history is made all the more impressive by the fact that he is still going at 30 years old and just engineered the best-graded season of his career in Year 9.
In his first year with the Baltimore Ravens in 2024, Henry led the league in both PFF overall grade (94.1) and PFF rushing grade (93.5) for his position while posting a career-high 6.0 yards per carry on 367 attempts. His 3.6 yards after contact per attempt in his career is the second-best mark of all time among 159 qualifying running backs behind only Nick Chubb (3.8), though Henry has handled nearly double the number of carries.
Across 13 NFL seasons — all with the Baltimore Ravens — Yanda never posted a PFF blocking grade or PFF overall grade below 72.2 in a season, standing out as a poster child of high-end consistency.
Yanda’s best pass-blocking campaign came in 2016, when he allowed the lowest pressure rate in a season (1.0%) for his position (minimum 450 pass-blocking snaps) and didn’t let up a single sack or quarterback hit. He stands as the only offensive guard to rank in the top five in career PFF overall grade (93.6), career PFF run-blocking grade (91.7) and career PFF pass-blocking grade (91.3) among 274 qualifying players since 2006.
Lewis’ career dates back further than PFF grading, beginning in 1996, though he is deserving of making the quarter-century team when projecting the start of his career — five first-team All-Pro appearances and two Defensive Player of the Year awards — to the PFF era.
Once PFF’s grading began, Lewis produced one of the best career grades for the position, ranking among the top five linebackers since 2006. His 2009 season was his best captured by PFF, as he delivered a 91.4 PFF overall...
