Most Career Receiving Yards by a Baltimore Ravens Player
Let’s be honest — when you think of the Ravens, you think of Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and bone-jarring hits. But Baltimore has quietly produced some of the NFL’s most dependable and explosive receivers too. While the franchise built its reputation on defense and the run game, these pass catchers made sure the scoreboard kept moving.
Whether it was Derrick Mason moving the chains, Mark Andrews shredding coverages, or Torrey Smith blazing past DBs, the Ravens’ receiving history deserves more credit. Here’s a look at the top 10 players with the most career receiving yards in Baltimore Ravens history.
Top 10 All-Time Receiving Yard Leaders
10. Michael Jackson – 2,596 Yards
The original deep threat in purple and black, Jackson was instrumental in giving Baltimore fans something to cheer about after the move from Cleveland.
9. Anquan Boldin – 2,645 Yards
Tough as nails, Boldin made contested catches look routine — especially during the Ravens’ 2012 playoff run and Super Bowl XLVII win.
8. Travis Taylor – 2,758 Yards
Never quite lived up to his draft hype, but Taylor delivered solid numbers as a consistent contributor in the early 2000s.
7. Qadry Ismail – 2,819 Yards
“The Missile” gave the Ravens speed and flash, breaking 1,000 yards in 1999 and setting the tone for future WRs.
6. Ray Rice – 3,034 Yards
A running back, yes — but one with elite receiving skills. Rice turned dump-offs into chunk plays and quietly climbed the ranks.
5. Mark Clayton – 3,116 Yards
A smooth route-runner with sneaky burst, Clayton brought stability and big-play upside to a transitioning Ravens offense.
4. Torrey Smith – 3,591 Yards
If you blinked, you missed him. Smith’s vertical speed and clutch postseason grabs earned him a permanent place in Ravens lore.
3. Todd Heap – 5,492 Yards
The original TE1 in Baltimore, Heap combined size and toughness to become a fan favorite and a red-zone menace.
2. Mark Andrews – 5,530 Yards
Lamar Jackson’s favorite target and the NFL’s elite TE tier, Andrews continues to rack up yards with no signs of slowing.
1. Derrick Mason – 5,777 Yards
Reliable. Productive. Clutch. Mason’s consistency over five 1,000-yard seasons made him the Ravens’ all-time leader in receiving yards.
