Joe Flacco

Highlights

The Baltimore Ravens drafted quarterback Joe Flacco out of the University of Delaware with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft. Flacco was expected to serve as the Ravens' third-string quarterback as a rookie, but a shoulder injury in training camp landed starter Kyle Boller on injured reserve and backup Troy Smith was sidelined with a severe tonsil infection, elevating Flacco to the team's No. 1 spot.

Flacco started every game for the Ravens as a rookie, leading Baltimore to an 11-5 record. During the regular season he completed 60 percent of his passes (257-for-428) for 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Flacco became the first rookie quarterback in NFL history...

Flacco was born Jan. 16, 1985 in Audubon, N.J. He began his college career at the University of Pittsburgh before transferring to Delaware and starting for the Blue Hens as a junior and senior.

  1. Continuity on the offensive line a comfort for Joe Flacco

    When quarterback Joe Flacco lines up in the Ravens' backfield this fall, he'll be protected by four of the five offensive linemen who started in the Super Bowl.

  3. Joe Flacco says young receivers are talented enough to get the job done

    The football rarely hit the ground, at least not when Joe Flacco was throwing and wide receivers Tandon Doss, Deonte Thompson and David Reed were the targets.

    The football rarely hit the ground, at least not when Joe Flacco was throwing and wide receivers Tandon Doss, Deonte Thompson and David Reed were the targets. It was just a routine organized team activity practice this week, but it offered an early...

  5. Ravens news, notes and opinions after Wednesday's OTAs

    As I expected, there was a lot more made of who didn&rsquo;t show up at this week&rsquo;s organized team activities than who did. The absences of <strong>Terrell Suggs</strong>, <strong>Haloti Ngata</strong> and <strong>Vonta Leach </strong>in particular seemed to spur the most questions. Again, the workouts are voluntary and some players choose to stay home and work out on their own. Coach <strong>John Harbaugh</strong> pointed out that the team didn&rsquo;t see <strong>Ray</strong> <strong>Lewis</strong> much &ndash; if at all &ndash; in the offseason. <strong>Ed Reed </strong>wasn&rsquo;t exactly a fixture at OTAs either. And <strong>Joe Flacco</strong> mentioned that <strong>Anquan Boldin</strong> wasn&rsquo;t traditionally at the facility this time of year either. The comments weren&rsquo;t made to disparage any of the three players but the point was made. The Ravens knew that those players would be ready to go when needed, which is the same feeling they have with the likes of Suggs, Ngata, Leach and <strong>Marshal Yanda</strong>, who also was a no-show. The Ravens have 90 players on their roster and all but about six of them were on the field in some capacity. And another veteran, <strong>Jacoby Jones,</strong> is expected to arrive today after his third-place finish in <em>Dancing with the Stars</em>. That should be far more the story than the handful of players who didn&rsquo;t show at a workout they technically didn&rsquo;t have to be at.

  7. Ravens QB Joe Flacco had a quicker trigger in 2012

    It came down to a matter of split seconds, but Joe Flacco got the ball out of his hands a little faster last season.

  11. Same ol' Flacco but a different Ravens' team prepares for 2013

    Joe Flacco is no longer barraged with questions about former offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, finding consistency or even his capability to win the big game. Now the owner of one of the richest contracts in the history of the sport and two weeks away from receiving a sparkling <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/superbowl/">Super Bowl</a> ring, Flacco's status as the Ravens' franchise quarterback will probably never be this secure.

  19. At start of OTAs, who's there is far more important than who isn't

    Who is there, or more appropriately, who isn&rsquo;t? That undoubtedly will be the most popular question this week as the Ravens start the first of three sessions of organized team activities. The sessions will run from May 21 to 23, May 29 to 31 and June 4 to 6, leading into the mandatory veteran minicamp, which starts on June 11.
