About Ray Lewis, Hall of Famer

Ray Lewis was a linebacker who spent his entire 17-season NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens, starting from their inaugural 1996 season. Drafted 26th overall in 1996 after starring at Miami, Lewis became one of football's most dominant defensive players. He led the Ravens in tackles 14 times and anchored the team's record-setting 2000 defense that allowed just 165 points. That season, he won Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl XXXV MVP honors. Lewis earned 13 Pro Bowl selections and 10 All-Pro honors across three decades. He finished with 2,059 career combined tackles—an NFL record. Lewis was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 on his first ballot.

Did you know? Lewis recorded 184 tackles in the 1997 season, including 156 solo tackles in a single season, an NFL record that still stands.
