Ravens Legend Nearly Played for Packers

Arguably the most historic night in Baltimore Ravens history was the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft when the team took two Hall-of-Famers. It was the first draft class for the Ravens after moving the franchise from Cleveland months before, and they started off with a bang. After selecting offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden with the No. 4 overall pick, the Ravens were back on the clock with the No. 26 pick, but the player they wanted was on the phone with the Green Bay Packers. Eliot Wolf, currently the de facto general manager for the New England Patriots, is the son of former Packers general manager Ron Wolf, and recalled the night of the '96 Draft when they were calling linebacker Ray Lewis, telling him that he was going to be their pick at No. 27.
