Where Are They Now? Former Ravens Litter NFL Rosters

Historically speaking, more often than not, the Ravens, in addition to having more of their own players on their roster than any other team in the league, have more of their drafted and developed players on other teams’ rosters than any other team in the league.  It is a testament to their ability to find NFL caliber players from Round 1 all the way to UDFA lists.  Even their failed picks tend to latch onto other 53-man rosters.  Now that teams have made their initial cuts to 53 players for the upcoming season, and filled out their practice squad lists, it is a good time to take a snapshot of the impressive Ravens diaspora.

So sit back; this read may take a while.

First off, let us congratulate C.J. Mosley as he retires after an 11-year career with the Ravens and Jets.  He had the unenviable task of follwing in Ray Lewis‘s footsteps; still, he put together one of the better linebacking careers of his generation.  He ended up a five time Pro Bowler and five time Second Team All Pro, with over a thousand combined tackles and a host of game-changing plays.

CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (4^th, 2022) – Cut by the Ravens not long ago, the promising but oft-injured corner was immediately claimed by the Titans.  We’ll see if this affords him more playing time.

RB Tyler Badie (6^th, 2022) – After not making the Ravens roster as a rookie, he was picked up by the Broncos and has been in the organization since.  He is a good special teams contributor and is currently listed as RB3 behind another former Raven you’ll read about later.

CB Kyu Blu Kelly (5^th, 2023) – A rare first year cut for a fifth-round pick, Kyu bounced around four teams before settling in Las Vegas, where he is now listed as a their starting outside corner opposite Eric Stokes.  This is the year he needs to show out.

LB Chris Board (UDFA, 2018) – Played solid special teams for seven seasons, the last of which was his second stint in Baltimore.  The Giants signed him in March.  Board has 155 tackles to his credit, 5 for a loss, as well as a handful of other stats on defense.

WR Miles Boykin (3^rd, 2019) – Boykin was a punching bag for a few years in Baltimore before switching to Pittsburgh, where he didn’t do much of anything.  He is currently on the Bears Practice Squad.  If anything, he is now a vested veteran, having appeared in 73 NFL games.

C Bradley Bozeman (6^th, 2018) – After leaving the Ravens for his money bag he spent two seasons in Carolina and is entering his second season in L.A. with the Chargers.  He’s made a career now, having started 94 games anchoring various offensive lines.

S Beau Brade (UDFA, 2024) – Another recent cut by the Ravens who was claimed, this time by the Giants.  They appear to have made him their fourth safety and a special teams player.

G Ben Bredeson (4^th, 2020) – He looked bad in one season before being released, and yet he is part of a long line of Ravens offensive line picks who have developed into something substantial.  He spent three seasons with the Giants before having a breakout 2024 season with the Buccaneers.  He is expected to continue starting at LG.

WR Marquise Brown (1^st, 2019) – Notoriously left town seeking a larger target share, and more money of course.  Ironically his target share has gone down ever since.  That said, he has a secure roster spot on the Chiefs, where hopefully he can stay healthy this season.  Hollywood has over 3700 receiving yards and 28 TD to his credit.

OT Orlando Brown Jr (3^rd, 2018) – He was underrated, and then he was overrated, and now it appears he is just rated.  Baby Zeus was a home run for a third round pick, making four straight Pro Bowls from 2019 to 2022.  His insistence on playing left tackle led him to Kansas City, where he achieved Super Bowl glory.  Then he was on to Cincinnati, where he resides on the left side today.

WR DeAndre Carter (UDFA, 2015) – For a long time the Ravens had a reputation that they couldn’t find nor develop receivers.  Despite this, Carter is one of several undrafted free agents that found success elsewhere.  In this case, Carter made his hay on special teams.  He signed with his tenth different team in Cleveland where he will be returning kicks and/or punts for the Browns.  His best season as a receiver was in 2022, where for the Chargers he caught 46 passes for 538 yards and 3 TD.

S Chuck Clark (6^th, 2017) – Left for the money bag with the Jets two seasons ago, and unfortunately lost the entire season to a torn ACL.  After another year where he struggled, he left for free agency again where he ended up in Pittsburgh.  They cut him, only to re-sign him to their 53.  Clark is adept at playing safety in the box; a good tackler who eclipsed 100 total in his last season in Baltimore.

C Trystan Colon (UDFA, 2020) – Was the backup for three seasons before leaving for the Jets, who waived him, except he was then claimed by the Cardinals. Over the next two seasons he started eleven games in Arizona.  He currently finds himself on the Lions practice squad.

DL Carl Davis (3^rd, 2015) – Can you believe this guy’s still around?  He is, although he was just cut by the Commanders and is looking to latch on to his eighth NFL team.  He has been quite the vagabond, starting only 19 games in ten years, nine of them in 2017.

RB J.K. Dobbins (2^nd, 2020) – The book isn’t closed yet for the starting RB in Denver.  What looked like a Pro Bowl caliber career was destroyed by injury, and eventually he had to go.  He went to the Chargers, where in 13 games he posted 905 yards and 9 TD.  His role for the Broncos will be challenged by rookie R.J. Harvey so his career rides on his precarious health.

WR Devin Duvernay (3^rd, 2020) – All Pro Devin Duvernay.  Yes that’s right, but only because of special teams.  He spent 2024 in Jacksonville, where he returned 33 punts and kicks; his punt numbers were a career worst, but his kick return average was over 25 yards.  The Bears signed him, but just cut him after whittling down to 53 players, to make room for some extra signings.  It’s hard to say what the future holds now.

S DeShon Elliott (6^th, 2018) – The Ravens placed the promsing safety on IR on four separate occasions before he left.  He hasn’t seen the IR since.  He played in Detroit, then Miami, then Pittsburgh, where he has now signed an extension with the Steelers.

G Jermaine Eluemunor (5^th, 2017) – Another Baltimore castoff OL who developed into a starter.  He hasn’t been particularly good mind you, but he’s now logged 60 NFL starts at G and RT between Baltimore, New England, Las Vegas and New York.  He’s expected to be the Giants starting RT again, at least until Marcus Mbow unseats him.

QB Joe Flacco (1^st, 2008) – The most tenured player on the list, the ineffable Flacc Attack still stits atop a QB room pecking order.  What’s to say about this E-lite Baltimore legend that hasn’t been said?  We would appreciate it if he helps the Ravens win two more games this season, and perhaps hands Pittsburgh and/or Cincy an L or two.

K Graham Gano (UDFA, 2009) – The second-longest tenured player on the list is of course a kicker not named Stover or Tucker.  Gano isn’t the only one either, but he is the one that’s still churning for the Giants after 15 years in the league.  He has 333 career field goals at an 83.7% clip.

LB Malik Harrison (3^rd, 2020) – A recent departure, this is his first season with another team, which happens to be one with a lot of former Ravens on it – the Steelers.  Game recognizes game I suppose.  The run-stuffing specialist is listed as a backup for now.

TE Hayden Hurst (1^st, 2018) – “The player the Ravens drafted before Lamar Jackson” was diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia in 2023 with the Panthers, but did decide to suit up for the Chargers the following season.  It is uncertain whether he plays again, but he is not listed as retired, so it’s something to keep an eye on.

EDGE Matt Judon (5^th, 2016) – His prime may be well behind him, but he’s still here, having signed a free agent contract with the Dolphins.  Judon was a fantastic day three pick who made four consecutive Pro Bowls from 2019 to 2022 for two different teams:  Baltimore, then New England.  He has 72 career sacks and 94 tackles for loss, and even logged his first career interception with the Falcons last year.

FB Kyle Juszczyk (4^th, 2013) – Nine consecutive Pro Bowls; one in Baltimore, followed by eight in San Francisco.  He’s thought of more as a 49er now, an integral part of Kyle Shanahan’s offense.  He may be winding down now in his age 34 season, as he was released and re-signed at a lower cost.  He is generally considered the top fullback of his generation, perhaps eclipsed only by fellow Raven Patrick Ricard.

K Wil Lutz (UDFA, 2016) – Like Graham Gano before him, Lutz needed to go elsewhere to shine, and that he did in New Orleans, peaking with a Pro Bowl nod in 2019 after a 28-for-30 season in 2018.  Last season he went 31 of 34 with a long of 55 in Denver, so he’s not slowing down.

OL Patrick Mekari (UDFA, 2019) – After six solid seasons in Baltimore, the do-everything lineman from California signed a free agent deal with the Jaguars.  It will be interesting to see how another team treats this Jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none.  He is listed as Jacksonville’s starting RG.  Regardless, his is a success story.

EDGE Jeremiah Moon (UDFA, 2022) – Moon was signed off Baltimore’s practice squad by Pittsburgh last season, where he ended up appearing in 13 games as a reserve.  He was cut by the Steelers this week, and not signed to their practice squad, so he remains a free agent.  His goal should be to find a way to scratch out four accrued NFL season, which would vest him as a veteran and give him a pension.  So many talented players are in the same boat

WR Chris Moore (4^th, 2016) – There is a theme here, and it is that many of the longest lasting former Ravens do so on special teams.  Moore’s best season as a receiver was in 2022 with the Texans; he caught 48 passes for 548 yards and 2 TD.  Yet, he is entering his tenth season in the league, on his fifth different team, the Commanders.  He is currently on the practice squad and is a likely call-up at some point.  Moore is an excellent gunner who can also return in a pinch.

LS Matthew Orzech (UDFA, 2019) – Special teams yo.  You think I wouldn’t include long snappers?  They get paychecks too.  Orzech is entering his third season as the Packers’ snapper.  He’s appeared in 84 NFL games and he’s going to get that precious NFL pension.

WR Tim Patrick (UDFA, 2017) – Another WR who originated in Baltimore.  He was waived by the Ravens… then claimed by the 49ers… waived by the 49ers… signed by the Broncos… released by the Broncos… signed again by the Broncos… and finally activated by the Broncos the following year.  Sometimes in the NFL, this is what you have to do to get your foot in the door.  Once that happened, he stuck.  After two straight 700 yard seasons, he unfortunately lost time to injury, but came back with the Lions last season.  He was just traded to Jacksonville where he should be their WR4.

OT Tyre Phillips (3^rd, 2020) – The much maligned Phillips has managed to appear in 47 NFL games and start 28 of them.  He spent three seasons with the Giants after two with the Ravens.  He was last seen being cut by the Commanders, and is currently a free agent.  Chances are as injuries pile up, somebody’s going to pick him up.  There always seems to be room for offensive linemen the size of Phillips.  There simply aren’t many men of that body type walking around.

OT Julian Pearl (UDFA, 2024) – Speaking of large men looking for an NFL job, Pearl was cut by the Steelers this week, and was not assigned to their practice squad.  He has now spent time in the Ravens, Browns, and Steelers organizations without seeing a regular season snap.  He does not have Phillips’ tenure, and may have to go to the UFL or CFL if he wants to continue playing football.

G Ben Powers (4^th, 2019) – It took three seasons for Powers to get going, but since then he’s started every game.  After finishing his rookie contract, he signed with the Broncos where he is still their starting LG.  There are complaints among the fan base about how much they’re paying him, but otherwise he’s been solid.  The Ravens thanked the Broncos for the comp pick, number 134 of the 2024 draft, which they subsequently used to trade up for WR Devontez Walker.

WR James Proche (6^th, 2020) – He’s not big, he’s not fast, he’s not particularly good by NFL standards, and here we are with Proche entering his sixth season on the Titans practice squad.  Once again, it’s special teams that saves a career.  Proche spent the last two seasons with the Browns and has appeared in 62 NFL games.

DL C.J. Ravenell (UDFA, 2024) – The Missouri Western standout spent his rookie season on the Ravens practice squad, and was destined there again, but this time caught the eye of the Titans who claimed him.  Hopefully for his sake this will be the start of a long and fruitful career.  He has the ability.

LB Patrick Queen (1^st, 2020) – This polarizing player earned Second-Team All Pro honors in his last season in Baltimore, before hopping a train to Pittsburgh for a money bag.  Reviews in Pittsburgh have been mixed, but he started every game and made his second straight Pro Bowl.  It was a bit bitter seeing him sign with the rival team – something the Steelers seem to be doing quite often, with four former Ravens on their defense (Clark, Elliott, Harrison, Queen).

LB Josh Ross (UDFA, 2022) – I was high on Ross as an undrafted free agent; he seemed like the kind of impact linebacker the Ravens tend to find after the draft.  Alas, he wasn’t quite so.  He stuck around until the Seahawks claimed him last season and ended up appearing in all 17 games between the two; however, the Seahawks cut him and did not assign him to their practice squad for 2025.  Ross is in danger of missing the boat.

OT Foster Sarell (UDFA, 2021) – Didn’t last long on the Ravens practice squad after they signed him; he went through the Giants to the Chargers where he spent three seasons there as a reserve tackle.  He is now a free agent after being released by the Commanders.  Another player that isn’t quite there in terms of vesting as a veteran.

DL Zach Sieler (7^th, 2018) – He would be the all-time Ravens seventh round pick if he’d stayed here.  He didn’t, and the loss hurt.  After over five seasons in Miami since the Dolphins claimed him, he is arguably their best defensive player, and yes that includes the likes of Jalen Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Minkah Fitzpatrick.  The big guy has earned over $42 million to date and is signed through 2029.  He has 30 sacks to his credit as an odd-front defensive end, along with 69 QB hits and 49 tackles for loss.

EDGE Za’Darius Smith (4^th, 2015) – It’s uncertain as of yet whether Smith is done playing or will sign a veteran deal for one more go this season.  He was a decent player in Baltimore, but it wasn’t until he left for Green Bay that his stock shot up.  After two Pro Bowls and a Second-Team All Pro selection, he missed most of the 2021 season, only to leave for rival Minnesota and get votes for Comeback Player of the Year.  He stands at 69 sacks, 173 QB hits, 85 TFL and 333 combined tackles.  His name has respect on it.

CB Brandon Stephens (3^rd, 2021) – Played out his rookie contract and left for the money bag.  He got more from the Jets than I expected this Spring.  He’s going to have to improve on last season to earn that contract, based on market rates.  If he plays like he did in 2023, he would do that.

S Geno Stone (7^th, 2020) – Basically did the Brandon Stephens thing last year, signing with the Bengals after a spectacular seven-INT season in Baltimore.  His numbers in Cincinnati look good – 4 picks, 81 combined tackles – but their defense as a whole was pretty bad.  Big picture, Geno is another late round success story, and the current title holder for “best Ravens seventh round pick all time”.

QB Tyrod Taylor (6^th, 2011) – Joe Flacco’s backup when the Ravens won their second championship.  He has the distinction of being one of two former Raven QBs who made a Pro Bowl with another team.  The other?  Derek Anderson.  Taylor made it with Buffalo in 2015, his first year away from Baltimore.  His three seasons with the Bills were his peak, and since then he’s bounced around the league as a backup, this time with the Jets behind Justin Fields.  There’s a decent chance he’ll start some games this sesaon.

TE Travis Vokolek (UDFA, 2023) – Lost the numbers game when the Ravens were cramped at the TE position.  The Cardinals signed him off the practice squad that December.  He’s been with them since, and made one of their final 53-man spots for the upcoming season.  It’s not a guarantee he’ll stick, as teams are not finished maneuvering.  Yet another player with some talent whose fortunes may lie with staying healthy and available.

CB Shaun Wade (5^th, 2021) – Wade was traded to the New England Patriots before he played a regular season snap with the Ravens.  He spent three seasons there, culminating in 2023 where he started 6 of 14 games, accruing 23 combined tackles.  They released him the following year, after which he spent time on the Chargers practice squad.  He now finds himself on injured reserve for the Bears.  It’s been a bumpy road for the former Ohio St Buckeye.

TE Darren Waller (6^th, 2015) – His story is well known around Baltimore, and it’s great to see him sober.  He retired after 2023… and then unretired so he can play with the Dolphins this year.  Warm weather?  His peak was in 2019-2020 with the Raiders, logging two thousand-yard seasons, third place in CPoY voing and a Pro Bowl nod.

CB Damarion Williams (4^th, 2022) – “Pepe” had injury problems for two seasons in Baltimore before missing the cut in year three.  Seattle, having ties to Baltimore by that time, signed him to their practice squad.  They waived him this time, and he is a free agent.  The future looks bleak for Pepe, who may want to look towards the UFL and CFL for playing time.  A lot of former Ravens happen to be playing in those leagues, albeit mostly UDFA, not fourth round picks.

CB Darious Williams (UDFA, 2018) – Appeared in three games for the Ravens before being waived and claimed by the Rams, which in hindsight was a mistake.  Williams started at corner for the Rams and was a part of their championship team.  After the Super Bowl he left for a money bag in Jacksonville for two years, then re-signed with Los Angeles in 2024, where he continues to start games.

DL Chris Wormley (3^rd, 2017) – He was an unspectacular member of the DL rotation for three seasons, only to be traded to the blasted Steelers (traded??) for a fifth-round pick.  That pick ended up being traded again to the Vikings for a package that returned Geno Stone and James Proche to the Ravens.  Wormley’s career year came in Pittsburgh in 2021, starting 14 games and notching 7 sacks, 10 QB hits, 51 combined tackles and 6 TFL.  Since then he’s been in Carolina, back to Baltimore, and is currently a free agent looking for a veteran deal.

RB Owen Wright (UDFA, 2023) – Can at the very least say he played in one NFL game: October 29, 2023 against the Arizona Cardinals.  He played eight special teams snaps.  He was cut by the Buccaneers this week, and hasn’t signed with anyone.  He can say, regardless of what happens now, “I was an NFL player”.

If you’ve read this far, I appreciate you and deem you an NFL nutcase.  Stay tuned for more inane ramblings about the margins of Ravens football.
