When I was in a treatment center for veterans dealing with substance abuse, Ray Lewis showed up at the center on Christmas and brought literally everyone Under Armor boots. He even hung out for about an hour just talking and meeting with everyone. He was already my favorite player before that happened but I have so much respect for him because of what he did for us. It's something I'll never forget!
Take care brother... don't let them demons win.
Thank you for your service. Wishing you the best.
Wow bro
im proud of u brother for overcoming adversity
This
Mike Smith - Defensive Assistant (1999-2001) - former head coach, Falcons
Jack Del Rio - Linebackers Coach (1999-2001) - head coach, Raiders, Jaguars (formerly)
Marvin Lewis - Defensive Coordinator (1996-2001) - head coach, Bengals
Mike Singletary - Linebackers Coach (2003-2004) - former head coach, 49ers
Rex Ryan - Defensive Line Coach/Defensive Coordinator (1999-2004, 2005-2008) - former head coach, Jets and Bills
John Harbaugh - Head Coach (2008-present)
Crazy.
don't forget Jack & john fox spent time in Denver also
And Chuck Pagano D-Coordinator for Bmore and now Colts HC. Amazing
and gary kubiac
Nice work
@4640jds yes
Lol Ray Lewis was leading bible study with fellow Ravens and the cops showed up thinking it was a gang meeting. Perception is not always reality.
Brain Over Brawn big man showing up in black cars nothing good comes from that
@Marc Aruguete i wonder if he keeps his blade in his bible.
oliverthecat666 salty steelers fan
I would actually go to bible study with him in fact.
@@donalddeluxe6407 going to a Bible study with Ray would probably be one of the most impactful moments of my life.
My favorite Ray Lewis clip was when Chad Johnson accidentally slammed into him, and all he could say when he got up was "I accidentally hit ray"
Mine too bro lmao i was watching highlights
Gives me the chills Everytime.
Him AND Ed Reed on the same damn team. What an amazing time that was.
Love the Ravens. But it'll never be the same man.
Hopefully we get another ring for another all time great vet T Sizzle
Jacabo Blanco people sleep on Ngata, too
Watch this years squad brother. 2006 d meets the 2014 o.
I am a Steelers fan, but I really missed those hard hitting Linebackers
As a Steeler fan, that was a special defensive duo. Couple of Miami boys dominating the AFC North. Steelers could NEVER win in Baltimore with those 2 on the field.
God damn so many head coaches were assistant coaches for the ravens
Yeah, check it out. current coaches in the room. Marvin Lewis, Del Rio, Harbaugh, Smith, and Rex and Singletary have both been HC too. All these coaches interacted with Ray over his time with the team.
Kubiak is HC at Denver and was O coach for Ravens too.
Jim Caldwell too
Ravens got successful coaches
Luis Lara That tells you how great their system is, They gave up great coaches to the league , look at Coach Lewis , look at Del Rio, We everywhere when it comes to coaches and players .You welcome .Beware of the Ravens of Baltimore ,And please bring your popcorn.
If I ever have kids, I want them to feel the same combination of respect, admiration and love towards me that Ray Lewis has towards Mike Singletary.
Your comment made me tear up. Thank you saying this.
jesus! the way he listens to the coach on the sidelines. the enthusiasm, the respect, the focus, the passion
Man I love Ray Lewis ( not a Ravens fan at all )
I too have respect for players on other teams. So hat's off for stating so!
Same I'm a raiders fan but ray Lewis is my all time favorite player

First Draft Class of the Baltimore Ravens - 1996:
1. Jonathan Ogden -- HOF lineman
2. Ray Lewis -- HOF Linebacker
Not a bad start to a Franchise huh?
Crazy that jon ogden graduated from the high school I play for
I always remember seeing ogden and his helmet looked so small on top of is head 🤣 🤣
hahah Not bad at all
To take that further, both were considered the best at their respective positions in the NFL, for a while.
As a Steelers fan, I give Ray Lewis the credit and respect he deserves. He's definitely the best interior linebacker I've ever seen play the game. I hate the Ravens but you gotta respect this guy. He'll be a first ballot HOF for sure.
dshivertaz7778 much respect. as a ravens fan i feel that way about troy p. you always had to know where he was at! hate the Steelers, but definitely respect them for being one of the best organizations in all sports.
I'm a Ravens fan since 98, and I feel the same about the Steeler greats I got to see. I look at Polamalu as a near equal to Ed Reed, Joey Porter, Harrison, Rothlisberger, Bettis, etc. Best rivalry in sports. Ironically, my family is from Pittsburgh, I'm related to Mel Blount and my dad was friends with the late Art Rooney (father of current Steeler owner). Small world.
...and we hate you too....but troy P. and jerome will always have my respect
And yet I still feel like you undersold how truly great he was haha
Me too pal me too same with Ed Reed
I miss these Sabol sessions on NFL Films. Classic.
RIP
This is a good testament to why there is a statue of Ray Lewis alongside Johnny U. outside the stadium.
I was watching his highlights or something and heard someone say something like "Ray Lewis is different, when he's on the field you FEEL him."
All them great coaches... Wow
jack carter 😂😂
Michael Kavanagh Coughlan just like Brady.
They weren't great coaches... They all only had success in Baltimore. Most of em never had a winning season anywhere else as head coaches
Really cool piece right here. Makes me proud to be a Ravens fan knowing Ray Lewis was there to keep everything in line. Gotten away from that in recent years, but our defense is getting back to the Raven way.. Gonna make Ray proud this season!
NFL Films always produces quality content. NBA fans barely have clips of Jordan in HD lol and we have clips of Singletary in colour calling plays in the huddle in 1985.
RIP to Ed and Steve Sabol.
Amen to that! RIP to the Sabol's. The work they did to capture and preserve the game for generations to come is amazing.
Jihf Ray Lewis killed a guy.
Steval204 Fake news
Shannon's reaction to the rookie show was absolutely priceless.
Brady , Rice , Lewis , Montana , Lott these guys defined a franchise those are my top five football players ever
Trey Bens Peyton Manning has an MVP for every player you put above him lol....... but that’s ok.
I can tell you're a Niners fan 😂
Trey Bens lol how can 3 different players define a franchise?
Not Peyton, bruh he literally built that stadium
We who grew up in the 90'$, when you hear the name *Baltimore Ravens* our minds immediately and automatically think *Ray Lewis* in a split second. He'll never be forgotten in Baltimore.
Shoot. Anyone who was a fan of the Ravens or their rivals wot forget him
3:20 had me laughing. Those neighbors must have felt embarrassed. This is why I don't always jump to conclusions about people.
As Ravens Fan and my family having season tickets since they became a team. I had the privilege of watching him play for so many years. Like those coaches said when he did his dance if your not from here you don’t understand. That stadium would be electric I mean body tingling electric. What he did for this city you can’t even put into words. Guys like Ray and Ed Reed bring able to watch them was awesome. I’m very grateful to have watched them play in person for so long. Now that they’re gone it’s different but makes your appreciate it more. That’s why I love football for 3-4 hours on that day all your problems hit the pause button and it’s game time. Love my city and my Ravens. Damn I was kinda mushy wtf lol. All true though
Greatest linebacker of all time. No question
Not even a ravens fan but Ray lewis by far is my favorite player!!
Patrick Willis at the end.....sad to see him leave so soon
He *is* the Baltimore Ravens.
The GREATEST team leader in NFL history. He not only made the players around him better, he made his COACHES BETTER!!! The Godfather, The GENERAL... RAY LEWIS!!!
Marvin Lewis doesn't get enough credit. One of the longest tenured coaches after Bill B himself and made the Bengals relevant after nearly 2 decades of being absolutely terrible. He's clearly a very intelligent guy and a great talent evaluator.
Yeah, I gotta wonder what happened there... he has had a long time and has not really gotten to deep into the playoffs. I don't follow them too closely but I think his stay is just about over. He's a good defensive coach but I don't see him controlling and motivating players to produce... it's that or the front office can't bring in talent.
On the flipside, Marvin Lewis is 0-7 (.000) in the playoffs and is 113-94-3 (.545) in his tenure with the Bengals.
Not exactly something to write home about, especially considering Bill Bellichick is 26-10 (.722) in the post season and 263-125 (.678) (which includes his tenure with the Browns as HC) lol
Beluga...any coach in the league would look mediocre when compared to BB. He literally has the 4th most coaching wins of all time.
Korra Yea I don't blame Marvin lewis for the Bengals shortcomings, I blame the front office for drafting and bringing the wrong type of player onto their team like pacman and Burfict and I just hope Joe mixon really fixes his whole situation.
Seven straight playoff losses, in seven playoff appearances in 13 seasons.
Dunno what to say other than that.
Being from Baltimore, i can tell you he was the spirit of that team. Retiring, banded that team together and they did it for him. His spirit drove that team and football in our city. I've met him and he carries that motivational tone with him.
Greatest linebacker of all time and an even better man!!! What a legacy and a legend!!!! Great video
Greatest Leader of all time!
See I never thought ray was thinkin bout himself when he was dancing
kalliou I always felt that way too.
Same that never crossed my mind
Yeah it's weird that I didn't either!! I don't think any ravens fans did.
I don't even understand the game of football but i love that man because he's very authentic
Ray Lewis is a household name at home and for the Baltimore ravens and for the national football league! LEGEND
This man is the reason why I started watching football
I’m a Browns fan and I was just in awe of Ray everytime I watched him. Just an amazing player a Legend!!
Never been a ravens fan but been a ray Lewis fan since Miami days. Love the fire and that he is humble.
3:49 Mike's like a proud dad. 😃
3:24 a story about a racist neighbor omg :D
I literally wanted to cry when ray announced his retirement.. I'm so glad he ended his career with a ring, he deserved a couple more definitely..
Ray needs to come back and Coach for Baltimore and Ed Reed 😁
Do all head coaches start start as a coach on the ravens or something
ray Lewis probably the biggest player I respect that isn't a Steeler.
I'm a Raven fan. When I was young, I was a Squeeler fan and my favorite player was Jack Ham but I thought Mean Joe and Lambert were crazy. Who was your favorite?
Raven Ken since I grew up in the 2000s it was Brett keisel ,Casey Hampton, James farrior, and of course Troy. (James Harrison too but it be kinda cheesy to put him as one of my favorites since he's still playing). What made you a ravens fan?
I grew up around DC and was a paperboy for Washington Post from 2nd grade through 9th. The Redskins were pissing me off when they hired George Allen who decimated the team for a bunch of old guys (Over the Hill Gang) I needed to find a new team. My dad was from Pittsburgh so I changed my allegiance to Steelers during the 70's - it was a great time to be a steeler fan ;-) BTW - I changed allegiances PRIOR to them winning any SBs.
After Allen left town and the team started getting it's crap together I went back rooting for the Redskins and that was mainly during the Gibbs era (not a bad time to be a fan of them either). Then through ownership transfer and moving the stadium out of DC. and Snyder (aka Little Jerry) proceeded to destroy the team I was effing livid.
I moved to downtown Baltimore for a new job and I was literally living two blocks from the football/baseball stadiums... I figured, I have a NEW home team(s). It just so happened I changed allegiances to the Ravens at the start of the 1st SB win XXXV.
I know people would accuse me of being a fairweather fan. No. For me the issue is the organization. Not the team or the colors. I like the Ravens from Ownership, FO, and the attitude they instill in their players. Plus, they actually invest in their WHOLE organization to make everything top notch - that even includes their media. They spend significant monies to cover themselves and help other news sites cover them as well. That's great for someone like me that only follow pro football.
I still have a soft spot for Redskins (and squeelers) but being so close to skins I do read news from them and they are STILL a messed up organization. Squeelers run a good ship and I am really glad that Ravens and they are in the same division.
I mean seriously, is there ANY other games that matches a Steeler vs. Ravens game? Not when it comes to hitting.
..smh
Captain Spartan 04 that's the same way I felt about Troy Polomalu(as a Ravens fan)
I understand why he love the Raven's so much. They held him down on and off the field.
Ray Lewis is one of my favorite non-Redskins players ever. I honestly wanna meet him one day. The thing about the "Ray Lewis flu" was funny.
I like how the ravens became super successful after they moved from Cleveland
Preston K
They were already pretty good. They just didn't win any Super Bowls until they'd moved.
Cleveland is hell
Seamus Aindriu O'Coran yeah people forget the browns were a dynasty in the 80's. Three conference championship appearances and with bill billichick hired in the early 90's. Browns are going to be dominate until art modell moved the damn team.......
Preston K who doesn't get better when they l8eave Cleveland!
Well, they nabbed Ogden and Lewis in their first ever Bal draft. Pretty good foundation
Every coach in this became a head coach....this is almost up there with the Parcells/Belichek tree
I would love to see this man progress as a coach. He studies the game.
I’m so glad I got to see Ray Lewis and Ed Reed destroy offenses for years and years!
I grew up watching him every Sunday
Ray is the single reason I'm a Ravens fan... And Flacco is the reason I'm reconsidering it. LOL!
Least u got lamar and the rising of that defense again...
Flacco on the bench now and possibly on the trading block this offseason. So lucky you.
Chill b, he gave Ray a 2nd ring on his last season that shits magical.
If that made you reconsider, you were never a true fan to begin with 😉
@@FatDane_ And what is "true fan" supposed to mean?
This is a big guy. Upper body is crazy
This was simply awesome to watch! Loved it! 👍
Love you Mr Sabol thank you so much for everything you have done for the game .😭
Miss Ray! Thanks for all of the years and awesome memories on the gridiron Ray!
Ravens fan definitely love this! Ed reed was amazing as well! Man great video!
In Madden 13 Ray Lewis has a speech when you open the game up. And my young self heard it for the first time it made me cry
Man I feel you on that
Ray lewis is my inspiration
I'm not sure you could do this with any other player that I got to watch. Peyton Manning maybe but definitely not a none quarterback. Ray's had the biggest impact on a franchise i think I've ever seen
Jim Brown for the Browns. Singletary for the Bears D during his tenure. Butkus during his. Mean Joe Greene Squeelers.
I think port of the optics is the young history of the team so I will give you this... He was a 1st round draft pick during the Ravens inaugural season and stayed with them for a long and HOF career. His 'attitude' defines Play Like A Raven that is placed around the castle. I have nothing but mad respect for the man -- we/he learn from mistakes. Sure he'll say silly stuff time from time but I will always be glad he played for the Ravens. So yeah, he did - does - define them.
+Raven Ken I was born in 89 I never got to watch those guys or see what they brought to the team from a leadership perspective.
Well, unlike some other old geezers I think every 'period' had its own romance. Different players and styles and rules. I cannot think of a year that I did not enjoy. I realized at a young age there was only so much time during the day and I did not want my days consumed with sports so I focused on NFL football. I had no idea it would become a 365 day a year 'thing'...lol.
Anyway, One thing is for sure. I have ALWAYS favored players over management and I am NOT a big fan of publicly financing stadiums (I think partnerships can be done but NOT straight up public financing). Otherwise, I enjoy the sport. Oh, one last thing, I do NOT hold professional athletes up as role models. Why people do I will never really understand.
The only quarter back to put two franchises over the top, I think Peyton was more then a maybe when it cam to impacting a franchise. But I totally agree. Ray would have been an all timer anywhere he went.
Ever heard of Lawrence Taylor ... ??
THAT guy shits on Ray Lewis
Ray Lewis, best linebacker of all time, if not the best player.
Lawrence Taylor was definitely the best linebacker of all time. Both amazing players but LT takes the cake on that one. The rules were also different when he played and you were allowed to be way more aggressive, so who knows how Ray would have played in that era. Then again the rules were changed because of Lawrence Taylor... Ray was in the NFL as more and more rules were being put in place to protect the offense so it's hard to compare two different times in the NFL but I'm still gonna have to give it to LT because he was the only person to win the NFL MVP as a defensive player(there may have been one other person to do that too I'm not sure) and also was NFL Defensive player in 1986 as well.
Then Brian urlacher
Eric Rattai LT but most likely best middle line backer
@@golleygeee9536 he played in a running league lol ofc he was going to win it qb werent praised like how they are now for the award
RIP Steve Sabol
I could've watched 2hrs of this content!!! Pure awesomeness!!
120 dislikes must be Steeler fans creeping/peeping A Ray Lewis video.You gotta love Ray and if you don't your just jealous.
OMGosh, why TF am I just now finding this video?? I've watched it 5x already & will watch it another 50x it's so damn good. As Ravens fans, I don't think we realized back then how spoiled we were to witness the magnificence of the Ray Lewis/Ed Reed effect. I don't think there'll ever be another dynamic Ravens HOF duo like that ever again. Luv my Ravens!! 💜🖤💜
loved it when mike sin. metioned patrick willis
Brisk_Supreme X Willis is nice too
That was a perfect ending. His face said it all. Lol
No words. After Rex ryan heaped heavy praise. Rex said exactly what it was
You can't deny the greatness that is ray Lewis on the field of football. He is amazing.
ray lewis never gave up he kept going.
Favorite player hands down
In an era when too many players are going in the the Hall of Fame, Ray Lewis belongs there more than any man, true HOFmer
The best NFL dance ever... PERIODT! 💯
Ray Lewis the beast I ever I seen love watching him play! He’s the war daddy...🤩👍🏽
Could you imagine, his whole career could have been "shoulda, coulda, woulda " after that night in Atlanta. And we'd be talking about how great HE COULD HAVE BEEN!! That would have been awful. Thank God it worked itself out and made him an even better person than he was. This is the epitome of "live and learn" and keep growing as a person
15:33 The best rally speech every in sport and in life!! POWERFULLY delivered and to the point. I wonder what game that was, but it felt like an AFC Championship game and it was 4th quarter of a close game.
Best to ever do it at the position, as a Pats fan since 94' I always wished he was on our team
Ray lewis is a legend..
I notice the video was posted on Ray Lewis's birthday. Nice.
Singletary mentioning Patrick Willis saying he might become a good player one day was fun
And on top of that they have Ed Reed
All I know about the Ray Lewis era is that I was excited when Baltimore was playing on tv and really worried when my team played the Ravens. What a brutal unforgiving defense they had. Love Ray Lewis
Gotta love that guy
Legend
Ray Lewis legend ya will last forever I will always be a ray Lewis and Ed reed fan I remember when I was little watching them in Miami
Greatest LB to ever play the game. They really should have had Coach Billick in on this roundtable though.
as soon as coach singletary mentioned lb in san francisco i knew he was referring to patrick willis😂
Miss & love u Ray...ur the best ever...\m/
Legend.
luv ya ray ray from RAIDERNATION
Lol Marvin Lewis said my so called leaders in Cincinnati. Shots fired.
Ray Lewis is such a great human ray Lewis for president 2020
I’m a grown man. this made me cry like a baby. but I’m a Bronco’s fan. doesn’t matter it was fantastic. :-)
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
Del Rio that's our coach.
One and only Nation!
😂
Football isn’t just hit the man with the ball...it’s an art and it takes time to do the things that they do and the perfect formula of talented people going at it...it’s what makes the game so damn entertaining and great and Ray Lewis took the game to another level on and off the field.
I,am a Skins Man , but Ray dance pump his team mates up, hats off to Lewis .
Ray Lewis got all those coaches promoted to head coach.
Singletary predicted WILLIS’ greatness is wild! Smart man!! It’s just too bad Willis didn’t play as long as Ray did 😢
Killer dance moves Ray!
Ray with out a doubt would be one of the greatest coaches of all time.
He needs to continue this legacy 💪👍
Only for Baltimore tho 😉
The BEST defensive player on and off the field hands down. The game will never be the same.
Hes the best man
Always had great respect for the Ravens. I was lucky enough to watch Ray Lewis his entire career. Suck a joy to watch.
