Ravens Top 100: Elite Defenders and Playmakers Rank 31‑40

Duane Starks – No. 40, Super Bowl Champion

Duane Starks earned the 40th spot in the Ravens Top 100 list. The cornerback joined Baltimore as a first‑round pick in 1998 and quickly became a starter. His 49‑yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XXXV remains a defining moment for the franchise.

Rod Woodson – No. 39, Hall of Fame Cornerback

Rod Woodson sits at No. 39 despite only four seasons with the Ravens. Already a future Hall of Famer when he arrived, Woodson posted three Pro Bowl selections in Baltimore. He helped establish one of the NFL’s elite defenses and contributed to the team’s first Super Bowl title.

Peter Boulware – No. 38, Dominant Pass Rusher

Peter Boulware claims the 38th position after a standout run as a pass rusher. Selected fourth overall in the 1997 draft, he earned four Pro Bowls and recorded 70 career sacks. Boulware held the franchise’s career sack record for many years and was a cornerstone of Baltimore’s defensive rise.

Marlon Humphrey – No. 37, Modern Defensive Star

Marlon Humphrey lands at No. 37 and continues to climb the ranks of Ravens greats. The first‑round pick from 2017 has become a premier cornerback in the league. Multiple Pro Bowl and All‑Pro honors highlight his impact, especially during the Lamar Jackson era.

Chris McAlister – No. 36, Fearless Cornerback

Chris McAlister occupies No. 36, reflecting his reputation as one of the NFL’s most feared defensive backs. A first‑round selection from Arizona in 1999, he spent a decade with Baltimore and earned three Pro Bowls. At his peak, McAlister could neutralize top receivers while fitting Baltimore’s aggressive defensive scheme.

Mark Andrews – No. 35, Franchise’s Most Productive Tight End

Mark Andrews holds the 35th spot as the Ravens’ most productive tight end ever. The third‑round pick from 2018 quickly became Lamar Jackson’s favorite target. Andrews has secured multiple Pro Bowl and All‑Pro honors, rewriting Baltimore’s record book with clutch catches and touchdown receptions.

Sam Adams – No. 34, Powerman on the Defensive Line

Sam Adams sits at No. 34 after transforming Baltimore’s defensive front. The massive defensive tackle brought power and playmaking ability to the interior. Adams helped create the dominant unit that carried the Ravens to a Super Bowl XXXV championship and earned Pro Bowl recognition.

Elvis Dumervil – No. 33, Record‑Setting Edge Pass Rusher

Elvis Dumervil ranks No. 33 after a brief but spectacular run with the Ravens. Signed as a free agent in 2013, he amassed 37 sacks in three seasons. Dumervil’s 17‑sack campaign in 2014 remains one of the greatest single‑season performances by a Ravens defender.

Michael Pierce – No. 32, Undrafted Free Agent Success

Michael Pierce lands at No. 32 as one of the organization’s most successful undrafted stories. He evolved into an elite run defender and a dominant interior presence, embodying Ravens toughness. Pierce became a key figure on multiple playoff teams, controlling the line of scrimmage and reinforcing Baltimore’s defensive identity.

Orlando Brown Jr. – No. 31, Up‑and‑Coming Offensive Tackle

Orlando Brown Jr. rounds out the group at No. 31 after establishing himself as one of the NFL’s top young tackles. The third‑round pick from 2018 earned Pro Bowl honors at both right and left tackle. Brown helped anchor a productive rushing attack during the early years of Lamar Jackson’s career.

The players ranked 31 through 40 showcase a blend of championship pedigree, individual excellence, and franchise‑defining impact. Several set franchise records, others delivered iconic moments, and many shaped the identity of Ravens football across generations. As the countdown moves into the top 30, the focus shifts to players whose careers altered the course of Baltimore’s history.
