Baltimore Ravens Top 5 All-Time Leaders in Receiving Yards
By Ben Palmer
2. Todd Heap – 5,492 receiving yards
Todd Heap played for the Baltimore Ravens from 2001 to 2010 and is arguably the best tight end that has played for the team to this point. He was drafted in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft with the 31st overall pick out of Arizona State University and became a major factor in the team’s passing game.
His rookie year he played behind Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and didn’t see a whole lot of action, but after Sharpe left the team in free agency, Heap worked his way into the starting lineup and performed well.
He earned two Pro Bowl nominations and had one of his best seasons in 2005 when he ended the year with 75 catches for 855 yards and seven touchdowns.
Following the 2010 season, Heap was released by the team and signed with the Arizona Cardinals, playing for them for two years before eventually retiring from the NFL.
