My favorite player of all time, Ray Lewis was named ESPN's #1 player of any era. Since 1996, the year the Ravens where introduced to the NFL, Ray Lewis has been the leader, 13 Pro bowls later he says he will come back for one more bowl. Ray said at the Pro bowl 1-29 "no more pro bowls, next year its a Super bowl.
Jim Brown: “Ray Lewis embodies everything that a player should have and more because not only does he fulfill his role, but he helps everybody else on the team. He has a great heart, and his mental toughness is as good as it gets. You don’t want to have a physical tough guy without him being mentally tough and having heart, which means he can hang in there and give up a certain part of himself that other people are afraid to give up.”
His leadership is unparalleled and he will go down as one of if not the greatest players of all time.
