Baltimore Ravens

. CB. Baltimore Ravens. Corey Graham . 3. player. 26

When one thinks about Baltimore Ravens heroes, there are plenty of names that come to mind. Probably the two that come up the most are Jermaine Lewis and Jacoby Jones. Lewis delivered the knockout of the Giants in Super Bowl XXXV for the Ravens’ first championship. Jones caught the Hail Mary in the thriller against Denver in 2012 and had a kick return TD in the Super Bowl against San Francisco as well.

Both good choices but also both fairly well-known. Not a lot of people in Baltimore bring up the name Corey Graham. For all the love Jones got in that epic double overtime win against the Broncos, it was this unheralded cornerback who was MVP of the game. It started with his interception return for a touchdown in the 1st quarter, putting Baltimore up 14-7.

His biggest moment though came towards the end of the first overtime. Denver had the ball and was driving towards a potential winning field goal when Graham stepped in front of another Peyton Manning pass to grab his second interception. Baltimore drove a short distance from there and kicked their own winning field goal shortly into the second overtime.
