Mike Preston: Ravens' All-Time team: The best offensive players and coach in franchise history

The Ravens are set to begin their 25th season in Baltimore and have already proved they are one of the NFL's top franchises.

In their short history, the Ravens have won Super Bowl titles in the 2000 and 2012 seasons. Four teams _ the Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions _ have yet to play in a Super Bowl.

The Ravens have had only three coaches _ John Harbaugh, Brian Billick and the late Ted Marchibroda _ but only Marchibroda had a short tenure, lasting just three years because of the team's financial hardships.

The Ravens are represented in the Pro Football Hall of Fame by three players: left tackle Jonathan Ogden, middle linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed, all of whom might be the best to ever play their positions.
