Only three starters remain as Ravens hit fifth Super Bowl anniversary

On Feb. 3, 2013, the Baltimore Ravens captured their second Super Bowl title by outlasting the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in New Orleans.

On the Ravens' fifth anniversary, there aren't many players left on their current roster to celebrate. In fact, the Philadelphia Eagles have as many starters as Baltimore from that championship team.

Quarterback Joe Flacco, guard Marshal Yanda and linebacker Terrell Suggs are the only remaining starters from that team for Baltimore. For the Eagles, wide receiver Torrey Smith, cornerback Corey Graham and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe are looking for their second rings Sunday, when they play the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

“I never thought that I would have a chance to play in two Super Bowls or I would have a Pro Bowl or I would even play 11 years in the NFL, so it has just been an amazing ride," Graham told the Chicago Tribune. "Even I didn’t dream of all of this."

Graham is among the few players from that Ravens' Super Bowl team still suiting up. Over half of the players off Baltimore's 53-man championship roster -- 60 percent, to exact -- are out of the league. That's a total of 32 players.

Here is a breakdown of the Ravens' Super Bowl 53-man roster (not including players on injured reserve such as cornerback Lardarius Webb) and the ones who are gone:
