Tucker was already one of the best kickers in the game, but he took it to another level in 2016. Of 39 attempts, he only had one miss on his resume because of a block. His 97.4 field-goal percentage led the NFL and put him back atop the record books as the most accurate kicker in league history. His biggest improvement came from long distance, where he tied a single-season record with 10 successful field goals from 50 yards or beyond. He went 4-of-10 from that distance the year before.

After a Pro Bowl rookie season, Mosley's 2015 season didn't land him any honors. In 2016, however, Mosley proved he could take the next step in his maturation as one of the best inside linebackers in football. Mosley was once again a tackling machine (92 tackles), but went from zero interceptions in 2015 to four last season. His pass coverage grade from Pro Football Focus (PFF) went from minus-5.4 to plus-1.9. And, once again, he landed back in the Pro Bowl.

Perriman didn't make as big a leap as some were hoping, but after a rookie season lost to a knee injury, his sophomore campaign was a definite improvement. Perriman showed flashes of the top-notch wide receiver he can be, catching 33 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns. His speed was clearly evident on a couple of those touchdowns as he pulled away from defensive backs.

Pitta went from not playing football for nearly two years to leading all NFL tight ends in receptions (86). While he didn't find the end zone as much as he would have liked (two touchdowns), Pitta returned to his role of being a chain-moving security blanket for quarterback Joe Flacco.

Wallace came to Baltimore with a chip on his shoulder, proclaiming he could still play after being released by the Minnesota Vikings. Wallace went from 39 catches for 473 yards and two touchdowns in 2015 to 72 receptions for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns last season. It was his first 1,000-yard season since 2011. Wallace also posted his highest average yards per catch (14.1) since 2011.

Much like Wallace, Weddle came to Baltimore with something to prove after the then-San Diego Chargers let him walk. Weddle didn't have a single interception in 2015, but picked off a team-high four passes in 2016, which was the second-most interceptions of his career (seven in 2011). Weddle's 13 passes defensed were a career high. He was the league's top-rated safety by PFF.

Webb transitioned from cornerback to safety in 2016, and the grades show it was a success. Webb had a plus-10.3 grade from PFF last year, ranking him 16th among NFL safeties. He had a plus-1.4 grade the year before, placing him 46th among cornerbacks. The Ravens gave up fewer big plays in the secondary and Webb made 73 tackles, one below his career high.

Orr had a breakout campaign in his first year as a starter. He recorded a team-high 132 tackles, tied for eighth in the NFL, and added three interceptions. Orr helped make the Ravens defense one of the league's best on third down. The problem is that Orr suffered a late-season injury that led to the realization that he has a congenital neck/spine condition, which forced his sudden retirement in January.

West became a full-time starter for the first time in his career and shined at times in that role. He finished with a career-high 774 yards and five touchdowns, and averaged a career-high 4.0 yards per carry. West also caught 34 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown. The local Baltimore and Towson product was tough for opponents to bring down.

After a 2015 season in which he struggled to rebound from an offseason foot surgery, Wagner returned to being one of the league's better right tackles last year. Wagner was ranked eighth in the league by PFF. According to the statistical website, Wagner gave up just three sacks and four quarterback hits in 2016. He posted a plus-10.0 grade in 2016 and a minus-24.2 grade in 2015.
