OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The welcoming-back of former Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick is nearly complete.
Two years ago, Billick was invited by John Harbaugh to speak to the team after a training-camp practice. On Thursday, Billick was named to the Ravens' preseason broadcast team.
The next step should be putting the 63-year-old in his rightful and long-overdue place in the Ravens' Ring of Honor.
Ten years have passed since the Ravens fired Billick, and it's even more apparent that his name deserves to be on the M&T Bank Stadium facade alongside Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden and Ed Reed.
