Final Ravens report card: Grading every offensive position from 2024 season
Each week, we grade every position group on the Ravens’ roster based on how they performed in a game. The grades were positive throughout the year, particularly on offense.
Now that the 2024 season is over, it’s time for one final report card. From quarterback to special teams, here’s how we graded each position group. Three units on offense received grades of A- or better.
QB –A+

Leading Baltimore to its second straight AFC North title, Jackson was first-team All-Pro and set career highs for passing yards (4,172), touchdown passes (41), quarterback rating (119.6) and completions (316).
Jackson led the NFL in rushing yards by a quarterback (915) and became the first player in league history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards. He also became the league’s all-time rushing leader at quarterback with 6,173 yards, surpassing the previous record held by Michael Vick (6,109).
RB –A+

The second most impressive free agent signing last spring, Henry had the second-most rushing yards in the NFL (1,783), only trailing Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley (2,005). Both players averaged 5.8 yards per carry this season. Henry’s 14 rushing touchdowns were tied for the second-most in the league, only behind the Bills James Cook (15). Justice Hill had 47 carries for 228 yards, and 42 catches for 383 yards and 4 total touchdowns.

After losing three players from last season’s unit, Baltimore’s offensive line was supposed to take a big step back. After a slow start, this group played better and better. The athletic Lamar Jackson was sacked only 23 times this season, and the Ravens finished with 3,189 rushing yards as a team.
The Ravens offensive line produced a 13th-ranked 85.8 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating, allowing 145 pressures — and just eight sacks — on 539 pass plays this season.
Tyler Linderbaum was the units best player, and his 82.5 PFF run-blocking grade ranked fourth among centers this season.
