Question six says a lot. I hope this guy retires a Raven.

I sure hope Yanda is still playing 5 more years and beyond. Hopefully, he will do so as a Raven. Yanda has certainly earned his place in the top 10 players in Ravens history.

Great stuff^^

[bnyce52]

Nothing but respect for this man. Just head to toe solid. We simply can't lose him next offseason. Way too much of a leader on the line which is integral to AFC North ball.

Met Marshall once and he is a great regular guy

5th best raven ever IMO right now. 1. Ray, 2. Ed, 3. JO, 4. Stover, 5. Yanda, with the caveat that if Yanda continues his current pace and finishes his career here I'll have him at 4 just behind one of the greatest lineman ever. Not bad company, Lot of ppl have JO at #2 and i'd have no problem with that but for me Ed Reed literally kept me interested in the ravens when our offense couldn't make a first down. Too many impact plays, game-changing plays that a left tackle simply doesn't have the opportunity to make, but I digress, Yanda is still a BAMF

My next jersey might have to be #73... One heck of a player, one heck of a guy.

They were playing ‘Renegade.’ Then woof. You could hear a mouse fart. Definitely the Steelers.”

 

 

LOL...classic line!!

@757RavensFan - You beat me to it. I was about to say the same thing! That was hilarious.

[Bat-mite]

Loved his answers to #3, #6, #15 and #19. Good stuff!

[Swagger]

Yanda is already ahead of JO. I met JO and he completely blew me off. He could have at least shook my hand. He had the SW flight attendants escort him to his own row on the plane. This was in Las Vegas. Nobody else recognized him.

[whokennyb]

just a great interview all the answers tells you all you need to know about him if he didn't state he was from iowa I'd swear he was from Baltimore

[reed20fence]

Iowa? From the sound of it it seemed like he'd like to buy a decked out cabin house and live up in Alaska.

[ellicottraven]

If there ever was a man's man, he must be a lot like Yanda.

My best 5 - Ray, Ed, J.O, Yanda and Sizzle!

[#20=DA MAN!!]

you could hear a mouse fart...lmao i can actually hear him say this!!!

[BmoreB]

Talk about a high character guy. Need to keep him around for that too, not just his play.

[hen826957]

Let Yanda retire a Raven pronto. Ozzie get it done.

[Grapple Raven]

Kevin the only thing missing from this article is a "Yep" at the end like he does with all his pressers! lol  It's classic Yanda!

[OrganisedChaos2]

If I had to get a signature from any player on the team it would be either him or Sizzle, the guy's an absolute beast.

[Purpleghost23]

Yaaanda love that dude

[smolina2o1]

What a humble guy, when asked who his idol was, he responded with his parents. Idk who else u would want on your team for life other than a guy like Marshal Yanda. Really hope he stays a Raven for life.

[RavenzOz]

"You could hear a mouse fart." Damn that made me laugh, I'm never too old for fart jokes. We need this guy signed again ASAP, and not just for his fart jokes
