Cornerback Lardarius Webb has insisted that the Baltimore Ravens "will be back" to compete again for the Super Bowl.

Webb, who has been out injured since week six of the regular season, said that he was "proud" of his teammates who won the Vince Lombardi trophy without him.

"I'm just proud of my guys," the Baltimore Sun quotes him as saying. "This is special. It feels awesome.

"To see all these guys getting their first ring is so great. We will be back."

Ravens beat San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII.
