With OTAs wrapped up and mandatory minicamp coming up next week, I got to thinking about which players were the most important to the Ravens this season. These aren't just players that are needed because of their on-field success, but because of their veteran leadership and what it means if they aren't playing. A tough list with so many stars, but one I compiled none the less.
Quarterback Joe Flacco
The Ravens were nothing before quarterback Joe Flacco came to town in 2008. After his selection in the first round of that NFL Draft, the Ravens have had continued success like few other teams, and that is all on Flacco.
