Ravens hope to convince Michael Phelps to speak to the team

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens fully expect Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps to attend practice soon. But coach John Harbaugh wants the most decorated Olympian ever to be more than a spectator.

"I'm going to try to talk him into speaking with the team. Maybe now he will," Harbaugh said. "We're just really proud of Michael Phelps."

Phelps won five gold medals and one silver the the Rio Olympics. In what he insists will be his last Olympic race, he won a gold medal in the 400-meter medley relay.

Someone suggested the Ravens ask Phelps bring all 28 of his medals won over three Olympics games.
