The Baltimore Ravens are poised to be one of the major threats to come out of the AFC and represent the conference in the Super Bowl during the 2024 NFL season.
Baltimore has the reigning MVP in Lamar Jackson and a plethora of young and talented players on both offense and defense.
Under head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Ravens have managed to stay competitive throughout the years though they are looking to end their Super Bowl drought.
The last time Baltimore won it all was back in 2013 when they beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.
Former star receiver Jacoby Jones was a key member of that title-winning team, and he unfortunately passed away earlier this offseason.
To commemorate Jones’ life, Baltimore’s staff wore a bandana at practice via the Ravens’ official Twitter account.
“Ravens staff are wearing 12 bandanas today to honor Jacoby Jones.”

Jones wore No. 12 on the field and was a key cog on that Ravens team that went on to win a championship.
Jones was named a First-Team All-Pro and made his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2012 after a career year.
The former wideout passed away in his sleep at age 40 and received numerous outpourings of condolences and support from the fanbase when the news broke.
Harbaugh offered up some kind words after having coached Jones and building a relationship with him, and it’s good to see that the organization is honoring his legacy.
It remains to be seen if they’ll do anything for Jones during the regular season but he’ll forever be remembered for his contributions to the franchise.
