We have some fiery guys with leadership capabilities who share a birthday week with a connection to the Baltimore Ravens organization. Earlier this week, it was Steve Smith Sr., (Happy belated birthday!) and today is the birthday of the of the greatest player Ravens history.
Ray Lewis is the guy who set the standard for the Baltimore Ravens defense for 17 years. Ray Lewis is the only player in NFL history with the following combination of statistics during the regular season:
- 2000 + tackles
- 40+ sacks
- 30+ interceptions
- 19 forced fumbles
- 20 fumble recoveries
He also had three touchdowns of his own in his 17-year career.
