48. Derrick Mason, WR, Baltimore Ravens

It’s hard to determine which days were Derrick Mason’s best. He played eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans before coming over to Baltimore in 2005. He ended off his last four years in Music City receiving for over 1,000 yards in each season. He then continued his success with the Ravens, catching over 1,000 yards in four of his first five seasons in Baltimore.

There is no question that he is the best receiver in the Ravens’ 18-year franchise history. He was the number one receiver from the day he walked into Baltimore until the day he walked out. Although he was drafted by the Titans and equally as good on both teams, he chose to retire as a Raven.

He played eight years with Tennessee, six with the Ravens, one with the Houston Texans, and one with the New York Jets. He finished his career with 943 receptions and 12,061 yards while scoring 66 touchdowns. He caught over 80 passes five times and topped the 1,000-yard receiving mark eight times. Is he a Hall-of-Famer? I don’t know; but if he is, he will be going as a Raven.

47. Tony Siragusa, DT, Baltimore Ravens

Goooooose!!! Fans in Baltimore love the goose. Why? Because he’s 6-foot-4 and 340 pounds. He looks like a giant.

I’m sure the opposing offensive lineman was never happy the week prior to a game against the Ravens. I know I wouldn’t be. Siragusa was an undrafted free agent in 1990 when the Indianapolis Colts picked him up. Siragusa wasn’t on the same page with the Colts new head coach Lindy Infante which led to him signing with the Ravens in 1997.

He was a part of the 2000 Ravens defense that allowed the fewest total points in a 16-game season. He vastly contributed to that Super Bowl victory when he injured Oakland Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon in the AFC Championship game for which he was fined $10,000 . He finished his career with 562 tackles, 22 sacks, five forced fumbles, and 28 pass deflections in 170 career games.
