Are the Ravens’ offensive skill position players Top 10? Top 5?

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell’s annual rankings of offensive skill position players has the Ravens surged into the Top 10. Should they be higher?

For ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive skill position players (minus quarterback) have routinely been middle-of-the-pack. And he’s been fair in ranking them as such.

Barnwell’s Ravens’ Offensive Skill Position Rankings

  • 2020: 20
  • 2019: 26
  • 2021: 14
  • 2022: 25
  • 2023: 15
  • 2024: 15

But in 2025, the Ravens cracked through into Barnwell’s Top 10, ranking No. 8 in the NFL. At the forefront is superstar running back Derrick Henry.

Ravens secondary ranks No. 1 in the NFL: ‘[Ravens] could be extremely difficult to throw against in 2025’

The Baltimore Ravens’ secondary enters the 2025 season ranked as the best in the NFL.

Last year, PFF’s John Kosko ranked the Baltimore Ravens’ secondary entering the 2024 season as the fourth-best in the NFL on account of Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams, who Kosko (among many others, including myself) cited as “one of the league’s best deep free safeties for several years. That unit — namely Williams — didn’t produce to such level, ranking No. 32 as a pass defense.

The story’s been told ad-nauseum this season and offseason. The Ravens’ benched Williams in favor of Ar’Darius...

Baltimore Ravens All Quarter Century Team: Tight End

Baltimore Ravens All Quarter Century Team: Tight End

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?...

10 Ravens’ players featured in Bleacher Report’s AFC North All-Star Team

The AFC North has been considered arguably the best overall division in the NFL for the past few seasons — and for good reason. The division is loaded with talent and usually uber competitive, with a combination of high-end quarterback play, rugged defense, and a blend of All-Pro caliber talent at different position groups.

Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder recently put together an All-Star roster for each division in the league, featuring nine positions on offense and six on defense. Out of 22 possible individual spots, Ravens’ players occupied 10 of them. They are as follows:

Kyle Hamilton ranked No. 1 among players under 25: ‘He’s a cheat code weapon in the secondary’

Kyle Hamilton ranked No. 1 among players under 25: ‘He’s a cheat code weapon in the secondary’

The Ravens’ third-year safety tops the NFL list of best players under 25 years of age.

In the 2022 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected arguably the best football player in the draft at No. 14 overall, safety Kyle Hamilton. Since then, he’s not only been one of the NFL’s best young players, but among the NFL’s best, earning two Pro Bowls and two All-Pros in three seasons. Now, at 24-years-old, Hamilton was ranked the No. 1 player under 25 by The 33rd Team’s Sam Monson and Steve Palazzolo.

“The best player under the age of 25 in the NFL...

Baltimore Ravens All Quarter Century Team: Wide Receiver No. 1

The Ravens havene’t been known for having consistent 1,000-yard receivers, but that hasn’t stopped them from having talented players like Derrick Mason and Torrey Smith.

The downside about being a franchise known for running the heck out of the football is that you’re not likely to have the most sterling of lists when it comes to wide receivers who have worn your colors over the years.

While the Ravens haven’t been known for churning out consistent 1,000-yard receivers, that doesn’t mean they haven’t had some talented players catching passes this century.

We’ve got three former Ravens lined up to be...

Nate Wiggins named the Ravens’ most promising building block

The Baltimore Ravens have a solid young core, with several long-term foundational pieces on both sides of the ball. They have a number of players in particular still within their first few NFL seasons that profile as key focal points of the team’s present and future.

Rising sophomore cornerback Nate Wiggins fits into this category. According to Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton, the 2024 first-round pick is the Ravens’ most promising young talent and building block heading into the 2025 season.

Rashod Bateman ‘went through a lot of things with the Cowboys’ before signing extension with Ravens

The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec interviewed Rashod Bateman and the wide receiver revealed trade talks with the Dallas Cowboys were more extensive than originally reported.

After the Ravens’ final minicamp practice this offseason, there was a chance the Ravens were moving on from their 2021 first-round pick, Rashod Bateman.

According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, Bateman “wondered if he had played his last game as a Raven.”

Instead, he signed a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension, and will remain in Baltimore through 2029.

But prior, to the deal, Bateman was on the trading block and General Manager Eric DeCosta was looking...
