Baltimore Beatdown
The Ravens have been a steady tight end team since the turn of the century.
The Ravens have been one of the best teams at finding tight end talent this century, spending most of the past 25 seasons with a player regarded as one of the best in the NFL at the position. For this position, there are two players that are far and away above all others, making this one of the smallest groups to pick from.
So without further ado, it’s Ravens legend Todd Heap versus current Ravens star Mark Andrews.
Who will end up making the cut? Let’s find out!
Andrews was selected by the Ravens in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. In seven seasons with Baltimore, Andrews has zoomed up the all-time receiving rankings and currently sits second in Ravens history with 5,530 yards and first with career 51 touchdowns. Barring a catastrophic injury, Andrews will be able to blow past Derrick Mason’s franchise record 5,777 receiving yards during the 2025 season.
The former Oklahoma Sooner earned his first and only All-Pro honor in 2021, garnering a placement on the First Team. Andrews also has three Pro Bowl nods as well, coming in 2019, 2021, and 2022.
Heap was taken by the Ravens with the 31st-overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft out of Arizona State. He spent a decade with Baltimore where he was one of the most consistent tight ends in all of football during his career.
Heap finished his Ravens career with 5,492 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns, good for third and second in franchise history, respectively. He was named a Second-Team All-Pro in 2003 and twice named to the Pro Bowl in 2002 and 2003.
Following his career, Heap was named to the Ravens Ring of Honor.
