The Baltimore Ravens have one of the NFL’s best constructed rosters with the top-flight star power and strong depth to contend for the Super Bowl. Routinely, they’ve been ranked one of the best in pre-season power rankings and for FOX Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano, they’re No. 2, behind the reigning Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
“They have been on the doorstep of the Super Bowl for a few years now, and this could be the year that they finally get in,” Vacchiano wrote. “They are bringing almost
their entire team back, including, of course, MVP runner-up quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. As long as those two are healthy, the Ravens are as dangerous as anyone. And oh, by the way, they added veteran receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who isn’t what he used to be, but could still be an impact player if he’s healthy. With the NFL’s best offense and a top-10 defense, they might be the world’s best bet to keep the Chiefs out of another Super Bowl.”
The roster construction from General Manager Eric DeCosta has the Ravens in prime position to contend for the Super Bowl and do so from a top-seeded position. Both the offense and defense are primed with star talent, from MVPs to All-Pros to Pro Bowlers.
