The Ravens have several young players looking to make the jump to All-Pro status
The Baltimore Ravens have accumulated one of the most talented rosters in the NFL for the 2025 season. Several of Baltimore’s most notable players have already achieved All-Pro status in the past, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, tight end Mark Andrews, left tackle Ronnie Stanley, fullback Patrick Ricard, safety Kyle Hamilton, defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Jaire Alexander, running back Derrick Henry, and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
The Ravens have a large group of younger players looking to make the All-Pro jump this year, including center Tyler Linderbaum, tight end Isaiah Likely, wide receiver Zay Flowers, cornerback Nate Wiggins, defensive tackle Travis Jones, and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh.
Today’s Question of the Day is:
Which Ravens player is most likely to be a first-time All-Pro in 2025?
My answer: Tyler Linderbaum
The two-time Pro Bowl center has been a linchpin in Baltimore’s offensive line since entering the lineup as a first-round rookie in 2022. Linderbaum’s status as an exceptional run blocker, due to his elite athleticism, has translated perfectly to the NFL level, earning him the reputation as one of the league’s top centers. If there is one element of Linderbaum’s game that has held him back from taking the title of best center in the NFL, it has been his pass blocking.
Linderbaum entered the NFL as a smaller center, which raised concerns about how well he would hold up against some of the league’s monstrous defensive linemen every week. That fear has been a reality at times for Linderbaum through his first three seasons. Linderbaum finished with a PFF pass-blocking grade of 65.7 in 2024, which was 25th among 64 qualifying centers. While his pass blocking has not been a massive detriment to his game, taking it to the next level would secure his place in conversations as the NFL’s best center.
Linderbaum is entering the final year of his rookie deal after the Ravens declined to pick up his fifth-year option. Since interior offensive linemen are grouped with offensive tackles when determining the dollar amount for fifth-year options, it makes less sense to exercise the option for a position such as center compared to a top-end tackle. Linderbaum’s fifth-year option salary of $16.7 million was bumped up to $23.4 million after being selected to two Pro Bowls in his first three seasons.
