The Baltimore Ravens Top 100 countdown moves into the upper fifth of the rankings with a group of players whose contributions extended well beyond the stat sheet. The collection of talent ranked between Nos. 80 and 71 include Pro Bowl performers, defensive playmakers, special teams standouts, and several players who became fan favorites during successful stretches of Ravens football.
No. 80 belongs to Dawan Landry, one of the most physical safeties of the early John Harbaugh era. A fifth-round pick in 2006, Landry quickly emerged as a productive starter before injuries interrupted his development. He returned to Baltimore later in his career and remained a respected leader in the secondary, finishing his Ravens tenure with 13 interceptions and countless momentum-changing hits.
At No. 79 is Pernell McPhee, whose versatility made him one of the most valuable members of Baltimore's defensive front during the early 2010s. McPhee developed into a disruptive pass rusher capable of playing multiple positions and recorded 17 sacks during his first stint with the Ravens. His breakout 2014 season helped earn a lucrative free-agent contract and cemented his place among Baltimore's most successful developmental stories.
Paul Kruger lands at No. 78 after playing a major role in the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII championship run. Kruger saved his best football for the postseason, generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks and helping anchor a defense that made a memorable playoff run. His nine sacks during the 2012 season were a career high and arrived at the perfect time for a championship contender.
No. 77 belongs to former Texas Longhorns legend Priest Holmes, one of the franchise's earliest offensive stars. Before becoming an NFL rushing champion in Kansas City, Holmes helped establish Baltimore's ground-game identity. He rushed for more than 2,100 yards and scored 20 touchdowns during his Ravens career, including a key role on the Super Bowl ****** V championship team.
