“The sad part is, we got young kids telling us how they are going to dictate our city, that won’t happen.”

One of the most accomplished linebackers in NFL history, Lewis was a first-round pick (26th overall) of the Baltimore Ravens back in 1996, out of the University of Miami, and anchored their always-stingy defense for 17 seasons.
A 13-time Pro Bowl selection and seven-time First-Team All-Pro pick, Lewis led Baltimore to Super Bowl wins following the 2000 and 2012 seasons.
Lewis, who retired following Super Bowl XLVII, is generally considered one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history.
