The Baltimore Ravens have one of the most impressive tight end groups in the NFL. Mark Andrews, heading into his eighth season after being drafted in the third round out of Oklahoma in 2018, has long been a cornerstone of the Ravens’ passing attack.
Isaiah Likely, a fourth-round pick in 2022, is entering his fourth year and has proven to be a dynamic complement to Andrews when both are on the field.
Their production and versatility have earned them widespread recognition — including from Pro Football Focus, which ranked both players among the top 10 tight ends in the league heading into the 2025 season.

Despite a disappointing final showing in last season’s playoffs, Mark Andrews is still regarded as one of the league’s elite tight ends when he’s healthy. Since entering the NFL, Andrews has consistently performed at a high level—even in a limited role as a rookie—and has maintained a Pro Football Focus (PFF) overall grade above 80.0 in every regular season of his career. His reliability, route running, and chemistry with Lamar Jackson continue to make him a cornerstone of Baltimore’s offense.

When Mark Andrews was sidelined early in the 2024 season, Isaiah Likely rose to the occasion, becoming a reliable target for Lamar Jackson and a vital piece of the Ravens’ offense. While his role decreased as Andrews returned to full strength, Likely still flashed elite ability at the tight end position. His performance earned him a career-best 77.0 PFF receiving grade in 2024, underscoring his value as both a playmaker and a future cornerstone in Baltimore’s already stacked tight end room.
Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely form one of the most formidable tight end duos in the NFL, and their recognition in Pro Football Focus’ top 10 ahead of the 2025 season reflects that.
Andrews, a three-time Pro Bowler and First-Team All-Pro in 2021, has long been among the league’s elite at the position. His career totals — 436 receptions, 5,530 yards, and 51 touchdowns — speak to his consistency and impact, especially highlighted by his dominant 2021 season when he racked up 1,361 yards and 107 catches with nine scores.
Likely, while still awaiting his first Pro Bowl or All-Pro honor, has quickly made a name for himself. With 1,261 yards, 108 receptions, and 14 touchdowns through just three seasons and 49 games (19 starts), he’s proven to be more than just a fill-in. His emergence, especially during Andrews’ absence, shows he can be a top-tier weapon in his own right.
Together, they give the Ravens a dynamic and versatile tight end room — a rare asset in today’s NFL — and a nightmare for opposing defenses.
