TE Hayden Hurst
The Ravens need a receiving tight end to emerge and their top draft pick this year has all the tools to make it happen, but he must do it fast.

LB Kamalei Correa
The Ravens' talented 2016 second-round pick is shifting back to outside linebacker to try to jumpstart his career.

QB Joe Flacco
With his back injury in the rearview mirror, it's largely on Flacco's shoulders to get the offense ready to start the 2018 season better than in 2017.

WR Tim White
The Ravens need a returner after Michael Campanaro's free-agency departure to Tennessee, and White is the leading man for the job.

*QB Lamar Jackson *Jackson's long-term development is essential, but his ability to help the Ravens win games as a pure offensive weapon may be his biggest immediate impact.

WR Breshad Perriman
It's now or never for 2015 first-round pick to prove that he can play up to his massive potential while in Baltimore.

WR Willie Snead IV
Flacco likes to hit his slot receiver to move the chains, and Snead could prove worthy of being his quarterback's safety blanket with a strong camp and preseason.

RB Kenneth Dixon
Alex Collins opens camp as the Ravens' clear lead running back, but if Dixon can prove he's healthy and show his blend of power and quickness, he can push for a major role.

OLB Tyus Bowser
Heading into his second season, Bowser has a chance to build on a strong rookie campaign, but has a lot of competition at his position.

DE Brent Urban
Urban has to pick up where he left off last year, when he had a monster preseason and looked to be an impact starter before suffering a season-ending Lisfranc injury in Week 3.

CB Tavon Young
As the Ravens' leading slot cornerback, Young is an instrumental part of Baltimore's defense as he rebounds from a season-ending ACL tear.

*CB Marlon Humphrey *If Jimmy Smith is healthy and ready to play Week 1, the other cornerback spot is up for grabs between the up-and-coming Humphrey and veteran Brandon Carr, who has been a starter for all 160 games of his 10-year career.

DT Willie Henry
Henry is Terrell Suggs' pick for defensive breakout player, and the third-year defensive tackle has to prove that he can take the Ravens' interior pass rush up a notch.

QB Robert Griffin III
As he tries to reboot his career, Griffin needs to show the Ravens, who traditionally carry just two quarterbacks, that he's too good to let walk.

OT Orlando Brown Jr.
The Ravens' rookie third-round pick has an opportunity to win the starting right tackle job out of the gates.

G/C Matt Skura
Ryan Jensen emerged in training camp last year to show that he was ready to take over the starting center job, and Skura will look to do the same this season.

*WR Michael Crabtree *Quarterback Joe Flacco said Crabtree is "the guy" with which he needs to get on the same page because Crabtree will be the Ravens' top wideout and has a unique playing style.

G/T Alex Lewis
After missing last season because of a shoulder injury, Lewis is one of the key dominos in the Ravens offensive line because he could play guard, center or tackle.

CB Jimmy Smith
Smith's health as he comes back from a torn Achilles will be a huge factor in the Ravens' defensive strength this year.

WR John Brown
The Ravens are relying on Brown to be their big-play threat after that element was lacking last season.
