So originally I had this post set to drop minutes after the Patriots beat the Ravens… Unfortunately that never happened. Either way, Ray Lewis is the best Middle Linebacker ever to play in the NFL. Yes, he kinda did kill a man, but since he never actually got charged with the crime, well let it slide. Before I go on a rant about how I really feel about Ray, lets break down his career stats. I have also included a few of Ray’s highlight videos from High School, College, and the NFL.
Ray Lewis spent his entire 17 year career as a member of the Baltimore Ravens, appearing in 228 regular season games. In those games, he recorded 2050 combined tackles, 41.5 sacks, 19 forced fumbles, 19 fumble recoveries, and 31 interceptions for 3 touchdowns.
Playing in 21 postseason games, Lewis accumulated 211 combined tackles, 2 sacks, 6 forced fumbles with 1 recovery, and 2 interceptions with 1 for a touchdown.
While best known for his crazy pre-game dance, Ray will be missed for the leadership and intensity that he brought every single time he stepped on the field.
Thanks, Ray Lewis, for 17 years of laying it on the line and giving us the opportunity to witness one of the greatest linebackers EVER step on the field, week in and week out.
