10 Ravens who could make the most-improved list in 2025
The NFL schedule was released on Wednesday night, and the Ravens are scheduled for four prime-time games, including a rare "Monday Night Football" game in Baltimore against the Detroit Lions in Week 3.
The Ravens are amid a Super Bowl window and feel confident after signing Derrick Henry to a contract extension. Baltimore added depth to a much-improved defense and will debut a new kicker for the first time in over a decade.
With OTAs approaching and training camp looming, we're looking at ten players who could make the most improved list in 2025.
RB Keaton Mitchell
There are only so many carries with Derrick Henry and Justice Hill on the roster, but Mitchell is a home run hitter. Mitchell will look to get back to full speed after missing much of the season recovering from a knee injury that ended his 2023 campaign.
DB T.J. Tampa
Tampa only played seven games in his 2024 rookie campaign season. Hampered by an ankle injury that plagued him since Oct. 24, the former Iowa State star couldn’t contribute in his first year, but he offers height, length, speed, and physicality.
OL Daniel Faalele
After moving from offensive tackle to offensive guard, Faalele was named a Pro Bowl alternate after surrendering one sack and 30 pressures in 504 pass-blocking opportunities last season. An off-season working out with Ronnie Stanley should allow Faalele to take the next steps.
LB Trenton Simpson
With Malik Harrison and Chris Board departing in free agency, John Harbaugh confirmed that Simpson would be first up in the battle at linebacker. Simpson was productive over Baltimore's first 11 games, logging 65 tackles (34 solo), but he was a liability in the passing game. Simpson was entirely out of the Ravens' inside-linebacker rotation following the Week 14 bye, and he was limited to special teams during Baltimore's two-game postseason run. Simpson finished the 2024 regular season with 73 tackles (40 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses, and one fumble recovery across 17 games.
OL Andrew Voorhees
Vorhees was the initial starter at left guard in 2024 before suffering an injury and getting benched in favor of Patrick Mekari for Weeks 4 and 5, before the move was made permanent. The former USC star should get the nod heading into training camp.
OLB David Ojabo
Things can only go up for Ojabo after he played in 13 games last season. He has four sacks in his first three seasons,, and it's now or never for the former Michigan pass rusher.
OLB Adisa Isaac
A 2024 third-round pick, Adisa Isaac saw action in four games and played 32 defensive snaps, as his NFL debut was delayed by a hamstring issue, which sidelined him for the Ravens' first two games.
OLB Tavius Robinson
The former Ole Miss pass rusher had 3.5 sacks and 12 QB hits in a reserve role last season.
DB Beau Brade
Last summer, Brade made the Ravens' 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie free agent after starring at River Hill High School and the University of Maryland. In the games he appeared in, Brade was mainly relegated to special teams roles and only saw the field on defense late in the fourth quarter of games where victory was well in hand. Braden recorded just three total tackles, including just one solo, and played 207 snaps on special teams compared to just 11 on defense. He was inactive for both playoff games.
DB Sanoussi Kane
Kane is a thumper who also stood out on defense in the preseason. According to Pro Football Focus, he did not allow a single reception on 30 coverage snaps, produced a coverage grade of 73.4, and recorded a forced incompletion and a tackle for loss.
