Ravens Poop
- Saturday night, the Ravens’ first draft pick ever, Jonathan Ogden, will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jonathan Ogden was an anchor of the franchise for 12 seasons. A master technician, Ogden combined superior athletic ability, tremendous footwork, outstanding knowledge of the game and a fierce competitive zeal to become the most dominant offensive tackle of his era. Ogden is the standard to which all left tackles today are held. For the stat guys:

- Helped pave the way for Jamal Lewis, who set a franchise-record with 2,066 rushing yards in 2003, the 2nd-most rushing yards in NFL history (Eric Dickerson - 2,105 in 1984). It included the 2nd-highest rushing total in NFL history (295 yards) against Cleveland (9/14)
- Ravens all-time leader in games started (176) and is 2nd in games played (177)
- Anchored a line that protected Ravens QBs, allowing a franchise-low 17 sacks in 2006, the 2nd-fewest (Ind. -15) in the NFL, and posted the highest completion percentage (62.6%) in team history
- Led the line that protected Ravens QBs, allowing them to complete a franchise-record 341 passes (61.2%) in 2007
Congrats J.O., a first ballot Hall of Famer!

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
