The Baltimore Ravens have earned high national praise throughout this offseason, being recognized as one of the league’s top returning teams ahead of the 2025 season. This continued last week when they earned the No. 1 spot in ESPN’s roster rankings.
The list ranked all 32 teams based on projected offensive and defensive starting lineups, with subcategories of biggest strength, biggest weakness, X-factor, and nonstarter to be aware of. Unsurprisingly, quarterback was listed as the Ravens’ biggest strength.
“Lamar Jackson, an All-Pro in each of the past two seasons and the NFL MVP in 2019 and 2023, is one of the best in the business,” said ESPN’s Mike Clay.
