Ravens TE Isaiah Likely is ready to ‘wipe the slate clean’ in 2024

The Baltimore Ravens suffered a brutal defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game last year. The team came so close to realizing their goal of bringing another Super Bowl back to Baltimore but couldn’t get the job done when it mattered most.

Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely was a key part of the team’s late-season domination. He stepped in for the injured Mark Andrews and never looked back, even when Andrews returned. He talked about wiping the slate clean in 2024, as he’s trying to become an even better and more well-rounded player ahead of the new year.

“Really, just wiping the slate clean. I mean, knowing, obviously, the pros and cons of what I did to end off the year, but understanding that, obviously, what I did wasn’t enough to get the ultimate goal. So, coming back with the mentality of ‘job not finished’ and attacking everything I did – from the little details to, obviously, the things I do well – even harder than before and trying to be that piece, that leader on the offense to get everybody going.”

Baltimore will need to find ways to get Andrews and Likely on the field simultaneously, as not utilizing their talents together would feel like a massive waste. Likely has a unique skillset for a tight end and should be able to find an excellent role on the 2024 Ravens.
