When we talk about the best players in the history of the Baltimore Ravens franchise over the last 20 years, outside linebacker Peter Boulware rarely enters the conversation. We always talk about Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, Chris McAlister, Rod Woodson and even Bart Scott. But we never really talk about Boulware.
Boulware, selected by the Ravens with the fourth overall pick in the 1997 NFL draft, was the first true pass rusher the Ravens ever had. Some may forget that Boulware was the Ravens original all-time sack leader with 70 when he retired after the 2005 season.
