Top 10 Baltimore Ravens Players Going Into the 2025-26 Season

The Ravens are a team that has all the pieces in place to make it to the Super Bowl. They should have made it farther than they did last season. Unfortunately, they came up short against the Buffalo Bills.

Baltimore desperately needs to make it over the hump sooner rather than later. I mean, they have to eventually, right? I still think they will at some point, but for the Ravens' sake, they better hope it's soon.

They just keep shooting themselves in the foot, it feels like. I don't know if Lamar makes the Hall of Fame without a ring. If they can't shed the playoff choker narratives, then this will just become depressing to watch, honestly.

Have to make your chances count, Baltimore.

The Top Ten

Lamar Jackson

Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. (born January 7, 1997) is an American football quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL).
He played college football for the Louisville Cardinals, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2016. Jackson was selected by the Ravens with the final... read more

Lamar is the best player the Ravens have at the moment and is a top 3 quarterback in the entire league right now. He's won 2 MVPs already and had a strong case to win his 3rd in 2024.
Lamar is an elite scrambling quarterback and his passing abilities have improved substantially over time. Lamar is coming off his best season statistically with 4,172 passing yards, ranking 6th in the league, and 41 touchdowns, which ranked 2nd in the league, and 4 interceptions. He had a QB rating of over 119. PFF gave him a 94.0 grade, ranking 2nd among all NFL quarterbacks.
Only real knock against him is the lack of playoff wins so far. He's won but can't escape the playoff choker narrative.
Derrick Henry

Derrick Lamar Henry Jr. (born January 4, 1994) is an American professional football running back for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). Nicknamed "King Henry," he is known for his imposing style of play and larger build compared to the average running back.... read more

Derrick Henry is a true legend. Easily a top 2 running back in the NFL right now.
Even if he's been around for quite some time, he hasn't skipped a beat as a Raven. His 2024 season was his best since 2020 statistically. He had over 1,900 rushing yards, which ranks 2nd in the entire NFL, and 16 touchdowns, which was tied for the league lead in 2024.
A truly powerful running back that's hard to stop. PFF actually had Henry as the highest-graded running back in the NFL in 2024. Henry is surely on the path to be a Hall of Famer someday. Easily the best weapon Lamar has to work with.
Roquan Smith

Roquan Smith has truly become the leader of the Ravens' defense. He's basically as good as prime Ray Lewis was.
Smith has been excellent as a Raven. 150+ tackles in back-to-back seasons and he's been a First Team All-Pro 3 straight seasons and has made 3 straight Pro Bowls. In 2024 he was top 5 across the league in most tackles.
He's always making high-impact plays and is far and away the Ravens' best defensive player. As soon as he showed up, the Ravens improved on defense overnight. They're lucky to have him around for a few more years.
Marlon Humphrey

Marlon Humphrey is arguably a top 10 cornerback in the league. According to PFF, his 2024 grade ranks 8th in the league amongst cornerbacks.
To say he's been a total game changer is a complete understatement. He finished the year with 6 interceptions, which is a career high, and was named a First Team All-Pro. He had 50 solo tackles, 67 combined tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and 4 quarterback hits.
Truly one of the best in the league at his position. He should continue to be elite for a while to come.
Nnamdi Madubuike

Madubuike has been a standout defensive tackle for the Ravens. He's consistently productive and finally had his breakout season in 2023. His stats in 2023 were nothing short of elite. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better defensive tackle in the league that year.
His 2024 was a step down but still solid all around. 6.5 sacks, 21 solo tackles, 43 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 17 quarterback hits. Still impressive enough to get a Pro Bowl selection. There's a valid reason why he signed a 4-year contract extension last offseason.
Kyle Hamilton

Kyle Hamilton is a great NFL safety. He has truly been a valuable asset to the Ravens' secondary since the moment he was drafted. He's a hard hitter and is excellent in coverage, but his most valuable trait is his versatility.
He has the ability to line up virtually anywhere in the secondary. He's already made a First Team All-Pro and a Second Team All-Pro in his short career up to this point. He was a true tackling machine in 2024 with 107 total tackles and 77 solo tackles.
The best part is he's technically still on his rookie deal, so the Ravens have enjoyed his cap hit being a total steal. A true vintage Ravens player and a true slam dunk pick.
Tyler Linderbaum

Tyler Linderbaum has been one of the best centers in the league. He has proven he's elite at run blocking and is very agile and flexible for his size.
Linderbaum has proven his talent, coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances. On top of that, PFF named him the 2nd best center in the league behind Creed Humphrey.
Talk about an unsung hero. Tyler Linderbaum has been a great asset for the Ravens' offense.
Ronnie Stanley

Ronnie Stanley has been a decent left tackle. At one point in time, he was one of the best in the league at his position.
Sure, he's faced injury setbacks, but when he's healthy he's an effective, efficient, and consistent run blocker and pass blocker. He's a veteran presence who has made 2 Pro Bowls and a First Team All-Pro. One of the most important players on the Ravens' offensive line.
Sure, injury concerns are valid and he's in his age-31 season, so longevity is another concern, but the Ravens made sure to keep him around with an extended contract and it's not hard to see why.
Mark Andrews

Mark Andrews clearly took a step backwards and ended his 2024 season in the worst way imaginable by dropping a routine two-point conversion pass. Kinda summarized his season in a nutshell there.
Sure, he scored 11 touchdowns but only had 673 yards and had an infamously slow start to the season, so it's not unreasonable to speculate that the Ravens are slowly transitioning to Isaiah Likely. Mark Andrews at his best was a top 3 tight end in the NFL. However, I think his glory days are over. He'll be turning 30 this year.
To be fair, I still think he's a great tight end who should have at least a few more productive seasons. He's a good route runner and is a reliable red zone threat. Hopefully he can bounce back in 2025.
Zay Flowers

Zay Flowers has been a solid wide receiver in the NFL since he was drafted in 2023. He made his mark as a rookie, setting Ravens franchise records for most receptions and receiving yards for a rookie.
Last year, he had 1,059 yards, leading the team in receiving yards and finishing top 20 in the league. He also had 4 touchdowns in 2024 and made a Pro Bowl as well.
Overall, a solid wide receiver.
