Baltimore Ravens: Kyle Boller

The Baltimore Ravens drafted Kyle Boller out of Cal in the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft, selecting him with the No. 19 overall pick. Boller, who ended up starting nine games as a rookie that year, ended up missing time due to a thigh injury. He would end up having his best season as a pro the following year.

As a second-year starter, Boller seemed to be rounding into a legitimate NFL starting quarterback, starting all 16 games for the Ravens during the 2004 NFL season. He ended up throwing for over 2,500 yards, while connecting on 13 touchdowns, and had games where his passer rating was over 100.

Based on his production in Year 2, it appeared that the Ravens had found their franchise quarterback, but he was it by the injury bug once again in 2005. In 2006, the team brought in Steve McNair, essentially ending Boller’s run as the future in Baltimore.

In 42 career games with the Ravens, Boller threw 45 touchdowns against 44 interceptions, but was out of the organization by 2008. He made stops in St. Louis, Oakland, and San Diego to finish out his career, but for the Ravens, he really never accomplished as much as the franchise would have liked him to.
