Ravens' Offensive Skill Position Group Just Outside Top Three in Bleacher Report Rankings
The Ravens offense ranked first in yards and third in points last season and is loaded with playmakers, but its skill position group did not crack the top three in Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon’s top 10 rankings.
The group, featuring quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back Derrick Henry, wide receivers Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins, and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, came in at No. 4.
"What makes them great: Perennial MVP candidate Jackson, superstar Henry in the offensive backfield, and a deep group of pass-catchers with varying degrees of experience," Gagnon wrote.
Gagnon noted that there is room for growth for several of the offense's younger players.
"Flowers and Likely are both still on rookie contracts and have flashed enough to make people notice, while a 25-year-old Bateman is coming off a breakout season with 756 yards and nine touchdowns," Gagnon wrote.
The Philadelphia Eagles were ranked No. 1, followed by the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions.
