I don’t think there is a great deal of debate as to whom the greatest player in the history of the Baltimore Ravens franchise is. Some may argue Jonathan Ogden, but the vast consensus will inevitably fall to Ray Lewis, albeit begrudgingly by his many detractors.
Lewis the second Raven draft pick ever behind Ogden, but he was the only Raven to play on both championship teams in 2000 and 2012. He racked up over 2000 tackles in 17 seasons, not to mention over 40 sacks and nearly 50 turnovers. So when he speaks on a matter related to the Ravens, generally, people listen.
