Recapping The Results Of The Harbaugh Region:

  • Ed Reed over Zach Orr
  • Shannon Sharpe over Adalus Thomas 
  • Matt Stover over Jimmy Smith 
  • Duane Starks over Jacoby Jones 
  • C.J. Mosley over Rob Burnett 
  • Haloti Ngata over Jeff Mitchell 
  • Jamie Sharper over Ben Grubbs 
  • Peter Boulware over Paul Kruger

The point of the Legends Bracket was to honor the best players in Ravens history. Zach Orr may have had a short career, but it needed to be honored. He became one of the best linebackers in the league before a neck injury ruined what could have been a legendary career. Reed wins easy, but including Orr feels good. Reed was the greatest ball hawk ever, so he goes on to the second round.

This region has a lot of old school Ravens. Before there was Justin Tucker, there was “Mr. Automatic”, Matt Stover. Duane Starks, Jamie Sharper, and Peter Boulware were all starters on the 2000 Ravens defense. Shannon Sharpe was the best player on the Ravens offense during that Super Bowl run.
