People who should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame include those talented and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/top-25-greatest-nfl-players-of-all-time/hardtack?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">legendary NFL players</a>, coaches, owners and other team members who have been snubbed for induction in the hall. Be it from a competitive induction class, off-field issues or just a lack of love from the voters, these men are all deserving of that bronze statue in Canton, Ohio, but as of 2013, have yet to receive that honor.For a great many of these NFL greats, enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame hasn't happened yet, but likely will as the years pass on. Many times a legendary player, coach or owner will be nominated for induction multiple times before they are selected. Michael Strahan, Charles Haley, Jerome Bettis and Andre Reed are all players who fall into that category. They've each received nominations and were even selected as finalists but were not inducted through 2013.Other NFL players, owners and coaches never received a single nomination or were voted as a finalist several times before dropping out of contention completely. These include many of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/top-25-greatest-nfl-players-of-all-time/hardtack" target="_blank">greatest football players of all time</a> such as quarterback Ken Anderson, running backs Terrell Davis, Larry Brown and Tiki Barber, and even legendary punter Ray Guy, who despite being called the greatest punter to ever play the game and earning a finalist nod seven times, has yet to be inducted.But this list is not just limited to star players who were snubbed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There's many coaches, owners and other prominent figures deserving of enshrinement. Robert Kraft, Art Modell, Edward DeBartolo, Jr. and even Paul Tagliabue all changed the game of football in one way or another yet they've not so far seen their bust in Canton.While we can hope that many of these fine men are inducted in future classes, if history serves right, there will always be mistakes and those overlooked. On the other hand, there are also plenty of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-undeserving-members-of-the-pro-football-hall-of-fame/pedro-cerrano" target="_blank">undeserving members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame</a> too to balance things out, though not for the better.

Baltimore Ravens

This is a list of the best Baltimore Ravens of all time. After they left Cleveland after the 1995 season, the Baltimore Ravens were given a fresh start and were considered a new franchise. The Ravens first draft in 1996 brought two of the best players in team history to Baltimore. Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden were drafted by the Ravens in the first round of that year's draft and are two of the greatest Ravens ever. Ogden is in the Hall of Fame and Lewis is considered one of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-25-greatest-linebackers-of-all-time">the best linebackers all time</a> who will be joining Ogden in Canton in the near future. The duo were the anchors on the Ravens Super Bowl winning team in the 2000 season. Though the Ravens offense wasn't the best, they had one of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-nfl-defenses-of-all-time/frankiej44">the best defenses in NFL history</a>.Baltimore's defense is usually one of the toughest in the NFL. Many of the top Ravens are on the defensive side of the ball. Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata, Terrell Suggs and Peter Boulware have won multiple awards for their defensive prowess. Joe Flacco is easily the franchise's best quarterback. Flacco led the team to a Super Bowl victory over San Francisco in 2013 and was named the MVP of that game. Along with Flacco, Ray Rice and Jamal Lewis are two of the greatest offensive players in Ravens history.This list of the best Baltimore Ravens players of all time.
