1. Ray Lewis

Ray Lewis is the legend that defines what the Ravens are all about. Ray Lewis is arguably the greatest linebacker in the history of football and he is undoubtedly the best player in Ravens history. Ray Lewis will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first ballot. He was the most incredible player I have ever had the joy of watching on the gridiron and will always be my favorite athlete of all time.

According to Pro-Football Reference, Lewis recorded 1,562 tackles and assisted on 493 tackles. He sacked the quarterback 41.5 times and had 31 interceptions in his career. He had eight seasons with over 100 tackles in his 17 year campaign. Every snap Ray Lewis played in the NFL was with the Ravens. Lewis is a Raven for life.

What Lewis means to the Ravens and their fans has a far greater impact than any statistic can say. Lewis is perhaps the best defensive player of all time and there is a reason he has a statue outside of M&T Bank Stadium.
