. WR. (2012-14). Jacoby Jones. 9. player. 26

You may be wondering why a player like Jacoby Jones is ahead of Steve Smith Sr. seeing as Smith  is a hall of famer to be and Jones wasn’t even close to that. I have three words for you: Super Bowl LVII.

The Ravens don’t win the Super Bowl if Jones doesn’t complete his half of the Mile High Miracle (a 70 yard touchdown to force overtime). The Ravens began to run away with the Super Bowl, but then the lights went out and the Ravens needed every point they could get.

Before the game changed, Jones scored on a long touchdown reception and a history-making kickoff return. The Super Bowl was the shining moment of Jones’s career. He was part of the magic.

Jones was never a great receiver. The Ravens asking him to be a bigger part of the offense in 2013 didn’t go well. That being said, he was one heck of a return man. Only Jermaine Lewis can rival him in this category of Ravens history. Two of his most memorable moments came against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

There was a 2012 game in Pittsburgh where points were as hard to come by as ever in this rivalry. Jones scored the only touchdown the Ravens needed to win, 13-10.

Then, the Ravens hosted the Steelers on Thanksgiving in 2013. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin infamously stepped on the field and prevented Jones from scoring on a kick return. Any Raven who contributed to two big wins over the Steelers is going to be beloved by the Ravens Flock.
