There are a lot of words to describe Ray Lewis, but if we had to narrow it down to just one it would be intensity. His presence on the football field can felt from anywhere, even when sitting home on the couch. His knowledge of the game and willingness to do whatever he had to succeed from the middle linebacker position is why he is considered the greatest Baltimore Raven to ever lace up a pair of cleats.
After earning All-America honors while playing his college ball at the University of Miami, Ray Lewis declared himself to the 1996 NFL Draft where he was drafted 26th overall in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens. Lewis would go on to play all seventeen years of his football career with the Ravens snatching accolades like Defensive Player of the Year twice (2000, 2003), being selected for the Pro Bowl thirteen times, and gaining an All-Pro First Team roster spot a total of seven times. Lewis' work also gained him two Super Bowl champions and Super Bowl MVP for his efforts in Super Bowl XXXV. He's the second linebacker ever to win Super Bowl MVP and first to earn the honor on a winning team.
