Most Career Passing Yards by a Baltimore Ravens Player

The Baltimore Ravens are known more for defense than prolific passers — but that hasn’t stopped a few quarterbacks from lighting up the stat sheet. Joe Flacco owns the franchise record by a massive margin, while Lamar Jackson is climbing fast with his dual-threat brilliance. This list is a snapshot of the team’s offensive evolution, from early-era gunslingers to modern-day playmakers.


TOP 10 LIST

10. Jeff Blake – 2,084 Yards
Blake had a brief stint with the Ravens in the early 2000s but made his way into the top 10 with solid veteran play. A steady presence during a transitional time.

9. Eric Zeier – 2,367 Yards
Zeier was part of the Ravens’ early seasons after the move from Cleveland. Though he never became a franchise starter, he gave the team important reps as they built their foundation.

8. Anthony Wright – 2,781 Yards
Wright wasn’t flashy, but he filled in admirably when called upon. His toughness and composure kept the Ravens competitive in tough stretches.

7. Elvis Grbac – 3,033 Yards
Signed to replace Trent Dilfer after a Super Bowl win, Grbac underwhelmed in his lone season but still racked up over 3,000 yards in 2001.

6. Tony Banks – 3,714 Yards
Banks was the starter during the late ‘90s and helped stabilize the offense before the team leaned fully into its defensive identity.

5. Steve McNair – 4,163 Yards
A former MVP with the Titans, McNair joined the Ravens late in his career and brought veteran leadership. He helped Baltimore reach the playoffs in 2006.

4. Vinny Testaverde – 7,148 Yards
Testaverde was the Ravens’ first real quarterback after their relocation from Cleveland. His big arm was on full display in the franchise’s early seasons.

3. Kyle Boller – 7,846 Yards
Drafted to be the long-term answer, Boller had the tools but struggled with consistency. Still, his years as a starter were enough to land him in the top three.

2. Lamar Jackson – 20,059 Yards
One of the most electrifying QBs in NFL history, Jackson’s passing has steadily improved to complement his elite rushing. With time on his side, he could one day challenge Flacco’s record.

1. Joe Flacco – 38,245 Yards
The longtime face of the franchise, Flacco’s resume includes a Super Bowl MVP, multiple playoff wins, and nearly 40,000 passing yards. He’s the undisputed passing king of Baltimore.
