Todd Heap
Todd Heap became the Ravens' first long-term receiving tight end standard and a bridge between the defensive dynasty years and later offensive growth.
Player Tight End Ring of Honor
Permanent Profile
- Was selected 31st overall by Baltimore in the 2001 NFL Draft.
- Earned two Pro Bowl selections with the Ravens.
- Held major Ravens tight end receiving marks before Mark Andrews began resetting the position standard.
- Was inducted into the Ravens Ring of Honor in 2014.
- Gave Baltimore a durable middle-of-field target through multiple quarterback and offensive coordinator eras.
Why It Matters
Heap matters because Ravens offense did not always have many permanent receiving landmarks.
He gave the franchise a tight end lineage that later made Andrews feel like an evolution rather than a one-off.
