The Baltimore Ravens should be represented in the NFL Top 100 despite winning just 13 games in the past two seasons:

The Ravens haven’t been one of the best teams in football in the past two seasons. They went 5-11 in 2015 and 8-8 last season. One of the reasons the Ravens have struggled is because a lack of star power. Joe Flacco is the face of the franchise, and he isn’t exactly setting the rest of the NFL on fire. The Ravens best receiver, Steve Smith Sr., is now retired. While Kenneth Dixon and Terrance West show potential, neither of them have elevated to star status.

Every year the NFL does the NFL Top 100. It is sold as a ranking of the best 100 players in the league, voted on by the players themselves. So far NFL Network has unveiled players 100-61 and no Baltimore players have been announced. The Ravens do have some great football players though. I would argue that Justin Tucker belongs on the list, but I have little faith that a kicker is going to be on NFL Network’s Top 100. He may be a kicker but he belongs. There is no player in the entire league who does their job better than Tucker does his.

I’m fairly certain a kicker isn’t going to make this list, so here are three realistic players that could be named in the NFL Top 100. These three players are as good as it gets; they make Baltimore football fans proud.
