elite?EDTShareTweetShareShareOpen Thread: How many Ravens are top 100
players?Dale Zanine-USA TODAY SportsThe NFL is filled with the best football
players in the world. Their ability on the gridiron is nearly unmatched. But who
among these players are the best? Who are the top rated players when stacked up
against one another?Some simple arithmetic: 32 teams x 53 players on a roster =
1,696 active rostered players in the NFL.Taking off the bottom 50% of players is
fairly easy. You know who is rated better than 848th in the league. The
challenge comes into play when debating who should be placed in the 99.94
percentile vs. 99.99 percentile. Well, that’s what the Top 100 does each and
every year. It finds those at the highest point of the upper echelon. Not the
top 1% or even the top .1%. This is the top .0589%.With all this in mind, are
any Baltimore Ravens in the top 100? Any worthy of being in the upper
echelon?How many Ravens are top 100 players?I believe there are three Ravens in
the Top 100, though you may be capable of arguing four are deserving.Earl Thomas
— The greatest free safety in the NFL since Ed Reed is a Top 100 player until he
isn’t. As of now, he’s still among the elite. With his speed, range, football IQ
and overall ability, it’s hard to find anybody better than ETIII.Marshal Yanda —
Father time is knocking at Yanda’s door, but the door is still closed. He may no
longer be the best guard in football as Zack Martin’s a bonafide stud, but he’s
still battling for first place each week. He was ranked 99th by PFF last
year
Mark Andrews
Jersey 2019 , which is a bit too high for me personally, but that’s still
a top 100 appearance.Marlon Humphrey — Last season was utter domination by the
Humphrey. He stonewalled receivers and is only getting better. Humphrey was
ranked 97th by PFF last year and I also think this was a bit high for my liking.
Nonetheless, he’ll be even better in 2019.According to NFL.com’s Top 100, which
we all give strong criticism towards, Mark Ingram also lands within the greatest
players in the NFL. Ingram was ranked 43rd, one place higher than Earl Thomas,
coincidentally. I don’t think Ingram is a top 50 player in the NFL, but he may
be top 100. In 2017, Ingram produced career high’s in carries, yards,
touchdowns
youth C.J.
Mosley Jersey , receptions and receiving yards. The following year, Ingram
was suspended for four games and he was forced to share the workload with star
dual-threat running back Alvin Kamara.Now it’s your turn. Do you think the
Ravens have a top 100 player on the roster? How many? Not a big deal" />Skip

✕Ravens tight end unit dominates PFF grades in the AFC North; All 4 in the Top
5New,22commentsNot a big dealESTIn 2018, the Ravens had four tight ends on the
roster. Two hardworking incumbents, Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams, and two exciting
rookies, Hayden Hurst, Mark Andrews. Many wondered how the coaching staff would
utilize each playmaker individually while also improvingthe on-field product.
It’s safe to say Greg Roman, the tight end coach in 2018, accomplished this with
all four on the roster; All four landed on PFF’s top five tight ends ranking in
the AFC North.Coming in at number
one
Stitched C.J. Mosley
Jersey , the Salt Bae himself.Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY SportsAndrews
stepped into the season quickly after a foot injury sidelined Hayden Hurst until
Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. It took only two games until the
third-round pick out of Oklahoma caught his first NFL touchdown. Andrews didn’t
just flash for a few games, either. He consistently made plays for the Ravens,
resulting in 34 catches for 552 yards and three touchdowns, including this
68-yard catch-and-run score against the Los Angeles Chargers.Second: Madd
MaxxJay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY SportsWilliams has been an under-the-radar
performer for years. He doesn’t make big plays as frequently as many hoped for,
but he consistently makes his blocks and catches his passes. Maxx caught 16 of
the 17 passes thrown his way. He took those for 143 yards and one touchdown. In
Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Williams caught all five targets for 51
yards, including a 22-yard reception on 3rd & 1 to extend the drive which
ended with a Justin Tucker field goal.The Hurdle-meister places fourthPhoto by
Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesQuick note: I used the phrase, “Nick Boyle jump” in our
image search and five separate hurdles popped up, with the above image being the
most recent.The second Delaware product on the field in 2018 finished with a new
career high in yards (213) on only 23 catches. Unfortunately, he’s still working
on that first NFL touchdown as his first snag in the endzone in Week 1 was
negated by apass interference call.Boyle does a lot of things well. He’s a
polished blocking tight end with good hands and a knack for YAC. Players are
forced to tackle him low as he stands 6-feet 4-inches tall and weighs 270 lbs.
When they do go low Boyle shows off his vertical by going airborne. While it’s
quite the joke on Twitter, there is obviously a reason why he does it.Placing
fifth and rounding out the crew is Garnet Thor.Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty
ImagesThe first-round pick dealt with an injury all season and many questioned
whether he was already a bust. Good
grief

Ronnie Stanley Jersey , fans really need to tone it down. . .Anyways,
Hurst needed a bit more time to develop after missing four weeks of action. By
the end of the year, Hurst became more involved. In his last three weeks, Hurst
caught six passes for 81 yards. He was strongly utilized in the blocking game as
Andrews became more pivotal in the passing game due to his chemistry with Lamar
Jackson.On February 19, Hurst posted an image on Instagram showing he played his
rookie season with a screw in his foot. Now, he says he’l back to 100% and ready
for his sophomore season.Many Browns fans were upset with PFF’s rankings, which
you can read in the initial posts thread. I’d highly recommend it if your dinner
is lacking a bit of salt tonight.
