The Ravens held their first set of voluntary OTAs this week, with practice open to the media on Wednesday. Here are the highlights from my first glimpse at the 2025 squad.

A new schedule can be misleading. We’ve known the Ravens 2025 opponents since the end of the 2024 season, so those should come as no surprise. But the deception lies in our own preconceived notions that all teams in 2025 will perform as they did in 2024. History tells us that is never the case. Some teams that did well last season will fail this coming season. Others that struggled will find their stride and make a playoff push. That’s the nature of the NFL beast.

Expectations can be dangerous, particularly if they are set too high. But if you’re a Ravens fan, it’s hard not to expect the best from a generational quarterback and a blue-chip organization. A championship is the benchmark and anything short of the franchise’s third Lombardi Trophy is considered a failure. In 2019, Lamar Jackson was the NFL’s second-ever unanimous MVP. The Ravens were on a roll. They entered the postseason with 12 consecutive wins by an average margin of 18 points.
