It’s in the books!
Paul Mittermeier and I have compiled our own rankings of the Top 25 All-Time Baltimore Ravens. Our initial master listing included nearly 70 players and contributors, which we paired down to individual Top 25′s. I’m sure as the years roll on we’ll have to make tough decisions on where players from our current rankings ultimately belong. Will Joe Flacco ascend as high as #1 before his career comes to a close? Will Ray Lewis always be #1, with no other player ever coming close? In years to come, where will Courtney Upshaw end up? Will players like Ray Rice and Haloti Ngata achieve the ultimate goal – a Super Bowl ring – and sky rocket up the ranks of All-Time greats as a result?
We will revisit our rankings on an annual basis, and see where our initial choices stand. For now, our inaugural picks are in the books.
Do your own version and let us know what you think of our Top 25 All-Time Baltimore Ravens…
