Special teams play has always been a big part of the Baltimore Ravens. In a game of field position where every yard matters, the organization has been fortunate to have some of the league’s best on their roster.
From solid punters and kickers to electrifying kick returners, opposing teams know they must prepare for the oft-forgotten third phase of the game.
In 2015, the Ravens boasted the NFL’s top overall special teams unit. They ranked No. 1 in both senior NFL writer Rick Gosselin’s (The Dallas Morning News) annual comprehensive ratings system and the Pro Football Focus rankings.
