The Baltimore Ravens have had one of the most trying seasons in franchise history in 2021. They’ve dealt with countless injuries, a COVID outbreak and multiple close losses in a row that have them looking in from the outside in the playoff race. However, there have been some positives throughout the year.
In Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore wide receiver Marquise Brown achieved his first 1000-yard season in just his third year in the NFL. Mike Wallace was the last Ravens receiver to have a 1000-yard season, coming in 2016. The first drafted wide receiver in Ravens history to achieve 1000-yards in a season was Torrey Smith in 2013. Smith also achieved this feat in his third season.

The future is looking bright for Baltimore’s wide receiver room after so many years of struggling to draft and develop at the position. The offense is going to keep growing with the likes of Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman, and even tight end Mark Andrews as premier pass catchers.
