Ravens make NFL history with Ray Lewis joining Jonathan Ogden in Hall

The Baltimore Ravens began their franchise with what now can be considered the best round in NFL draft history.

After relocating from Cleveland in 1996, the Ravens used their first two selections (both first-round picks) on offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden and linebacker Ray Lewis. This past Saturday, Lewis joined Ogden in getting voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

This marks the first time that two Hall of Fame players were drafted in the same round by the same team and reached Canton in their first year of eligibility, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
