Baltimore Ravens’ roster comparison: 2022 vs. 2023 offense

The Ravens are entering the 2023 NFL season with growing expectations as an under the radar Super Bowl contender with just as many questions as star players.

Lamar Jackson returns with a huge chip on his shoulders after signing a 5-year, $260 million contract extension during the offseason.

Critics and pundits are wondering if Odell Beckham Jr. can stay healthy, while Rashod Bateman will look to adjust his role again after the addition of Zay Flowers.

With preparation for the Texans underway, we’re looking at a roster comparison between the 2022 offense and the retooled, 2023 version.

The top two at the position remain the same, as Jackson and Huntley are the two signal-callers on the intial 53-man roster.

Josh Johnson as the third caller and likely backup if Huntley is still dealing with a hamstring injury.

The Ravens will move away from being two tight ends dominant under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, and this season, they’ll carry three dynamic pass catchers.
