Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Ravens.
As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Ravens again made it to the playoffs and boasted the league MVP in Lamar Jackson. They did not make it to the Super Bowl, but there was significant movement with two new names and five elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Ray Lewis
2. Ed Reed
3. Jonathan Ogden
4. Terrell Suggs
5. Marshal Yanda
You can find the entire list here.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who added his second MVP, moves up to #6 from #10. With another good year, Jackson should be able to overtake Yanda to enter the top five.
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey edged up two spots to #21.
Offensive Tackle Ronnie Stanley moved up to #26 from #38.
Tight End Mark Andrews rose to #32 from #35.
The first debut is Linebacker Roquan Smith, arguably the best defensive player on the Ravens roster going into 2024. He has not been with Baltimore for long but has already had two First Team All-Pros as a Raven. He debuts at #41.
Now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cornerback Patrick Queen reached #42 from #46.
The second new entrant is Defensive Tackle Justin Madubuike, who was a Pro Bowl Selection for the first time comes in at #43.
Please note that Kicker Justin Tucker remains at #9.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Ravens.
As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, Baltimore made it into the playoffs, but only made it one game in. 2022 yielded two new entrants to the Top 50, and four elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.
1. Ray Lewis
2. Ed Reed
You can find the entire list here.
Place Kicker, Justin Tucker, rises one spot to #8. He added his sixth Pro Bowl this year.
Quarterback, Lamar Jackson, who resigned with the Ravens, inched up one rank to #10.
Cornerback, Marlon Humphrey, climbed to #23 from #34. He went to his third Pro Bowl last year.
Tight End, Mark Andrews, moved to #35 from #44. Like Humphrey, Andrews added his third Pro Bowl in 2022.
The two new entries are Offensive Lineman, Ronnie Stanley and Linebacker, Patrick Queen. They debut at #39 and #46 respectively.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
Ronnie Stanley was the first Offensive Lineman taken in the 2016 Draft, and though he may not be the most outstanding O-Lineman of his draft class, but he has proved solid over his career.
Earning the starting Left Tackle job as a rookie, Stanley’s first three years were decent, but his fourth year was incredible, where he went to the Pro Bowl and as a First Team All-Pro. Stanley’s 17 in Approximate Value also was good enough for fourth in the NFL.
Stanley was hurt for most 2020 and 2021, dealing with ankle issues, but he returned in 2022 during the regular season, and stayed healthy throughout the rest of the year, and had a bounce-back 2023.
Stanley enters 2024 as an eight-year veteran, who is still a starter.
