The greatest middle linebacker of the modern era — two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and the defensive leader of two Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl victories.
Ray Lewis was the most dominant defensive player of his generation and the spiritual and emotional leader of the Baltimore Ravens' two Super Bowl victories. His combination of extraordinary athleticism, football intelligence and ferocious competitiveness made him the most feared linebacker of the modern era. He won the Super Bowl XXXV MVP award in 2001 and won a second ring in Super Bowl XLVII before retiring.
His pre-game routine — the "squirrel dance" and passionate locker room speeches — became as iconic as his on-field performances.
