Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis remains an icon long after his retirement.
Even more than a decade after his retirement, Ray Lewis remains the most iconic player in Baltimore Ravens history and among the most iconic defensive players in NFL history as well.
"Lewis redefined the middle linebacker position as a three-down defender who made plays from sideline to sideline. His ability to make teammates around him better established a storied tradition of defense in Baltimore. From 2000 to '12, the Ravens' defense ranked among the top three in the NFL in seven of the 10 seasons in which Lewis played at least six games," ESPN's Jamison Hensley writes.
For many, Lewis is the textbook example of what a middle linebacker should be. However, his ability to lead a defense and a team as a whole is arguably even more impressive.
