Soon after the conclusion of the 2021 season, veteran Anthony Levine Sr. announced his official retirement after a 10-year playing career with the Ravens. While Levine will no longer be an on-field presence, he immediately transitioned into a scouting and coaching assistant role.
At the height of his career in the mid-2010s, Levine was both a special teams ace and valuable defensive rotational player for the Ravens as a safety/linebacker hybrid. Over the past few seasons, Levine’s defensive snaps had waned but he remained a high-level special teams performer.
Perhaps more importantly, he brought leadership and moxy to the Ravens locker room for many years, which made him one a fan favorite.
