The Baltimore Ravens were among the favorites to go to Super Bowl 60 this year. Unfortunately, that won’t be happening. They didn’t even come close.
This year, the final fight for the Lombardi Trophy will be between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. The road to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, was complete domination from both sides. They tore through their respective conference with physically imposing defenses.
There are several representatives in Super Bowl 60 with Baltimore ties. Here is every former Raven vying to win it all on Super Bowl Sunday.
Players with Baltimore ties competing for a ring in Super Bowl 60
Morgan Moses (Patriots)
In terms of players, Patriots offensive tackle Morgan Moses is the most notable former Raven playing on Super Bowl Sunday. He is also the only starter.
It was a short tenure in Charm City for Moses, but it was a great one. He spent two years with the team and provided stability at the tackle spot, playing in 34 out of a possible 37 games. In 2023, he played through a torn pectoral, only missing three games. Ultimately, he was traded to the New York Jets following the 2023 season to clear cap space.
D’Ernest Johnson (Patriots)
Patriots running back D’Ernest Johnson was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, meaning he is expected to suit up come gametime. Most won’t remember Johnson’s time as a Raven, but he kicked off the 2025 season wearing the purple and black.
Johnson was signed in August and was the lead bellcow in preseason action. He missed out on a spot on the active roster, but performed well enough to earn a practice squad spot. However, he was eventually released. Following that, he signed with the Arizona Cardinals, was released again, and then signed with the Patriots. It’s been a wild ride for him, but it will culminate in a Super Bowl 60 appearance.
Josh Jones (Seahawks)
Seahawks offensive lineman Josh Jones also had a quiet Baltimore career. The 28-year-old was a rotational lineman and special teamer during his lone 2024 season in Charm City. He’s taken on a similar role in Seattle, but also logged three starts in the final three games of the 2025 regular season.
Jones hasn’t played in the playoffs and was made inactive in the NFC Divisional Round. Regardless, if needed on Sunday, he’s proven he can be serviceable when called upon.
Coaches with Baltimore ties competing for a ring in Super Bowl 60
Mike Macdonald (Seahawks)
If you’re a Ravens fan, you love to see Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald in the Super Bowl. If you’re a Ravens fan, you also hate to see him in the Super Bowl.
It’s painful to think what could have been for the former Ravens defensive coordinator. After an impressive two years calling the Baltimore defense, many thought he could have been on pace to take over for John Harbaugh. Instead, he landed in Seattle, and he’s been doing exactly what every fan knew he was capable of: dominating on every down.
It took him just two years as head coach to make a Super Bowl appearance. There’s no question that he’s already one of the top minds in the NFL, and a Lombardi Trophy would put the cherry on top of an exceptional season.
Josh Bynes (Seahawks)
This is a fun one. Seahawks defensive assistant and linebackers coach Josh Bynes is making a trip to the Super Bowl in his second season as a coach. Baltimore fans are plenty familiar with Bynes.
Bynes had three separate stints in Charm City. He signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2011, playing there until 2014. He returned in 2019, left again, and returned one final time for a stint from 2021 to 2022 to round out his playing career.
Bynes was a favorite of coaches and fans. The former linebacker played under Mike Macdonald for three seasons and joined his coaching staff in Seattle when Macdonald was hired in 2024.
Mike Smith (Patriots)
Patriots outside linebacker coach Mike Smith is the final of six former Ravens who will be looking to shine in this year’s Super Bowl.
Smith was drafted by the Ravens in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played there from 2005 to 2008, playing in 14 games and making one start. He finished his career with six tackles.
Smith has been making a name for himself as a coach, and in his first year in New England, he has a chance to capture his first career Super Bowl ring.
