Where Will the Ravens Players be a Decade From Now?

We met him at the Ravens headquarters in summer of 2011, when Tom Hall interviewed him for our series "Living with Lou.

Seeing O. J. Brigance made us wonder where this year’s Ravens players will be in 2023. Are there any players you remember more for what they did AFTER a major championship--than before?  Let us know at mdmorning@wypr.org.  Or, you know, comment.
