It’s hard to believe that July is now upon us and that later this month (July 24) Ravens’ training camp will be officially underway.

As is always the case at this time of year, fans will be locked in on the many new faces. Will the additions be enough to return John Harbaugh & Co. to the postseason in 2014?

While the team pursues its ticket to the January playoff dance there will be many highs and lows. As fans we’ve experienced that first hand during the Ravens’ 18-year history. A perfect example is the 2000 season which included an unsettled quarterback situation yet a record-setting defense; a 3 game losing streak offset by an 11 game winning streak.

The contributors to the Ravens success have been many and to acknowledge them we want your help in assembling the greatest Ravens team of all-time. We’ll target a 53-man squad and an 8-man practice squad and ask you to vote by position based upon their contributions as Ravens. The configuration of this fictitious roster will mirror a typical John Harbaugh squad.

We will start the voting today with the position of center.
