Ray Lewis

Ray Lewis is one of those names where the resume does the arguing for you. Seventeen seasons at linebacker, all with the Baltimore Ravens, plus a Pro Football Hall of Fame spot, and he is routinely called one of the greatest at the position ever. What I find compelling is the loyalty angle, a whole 17-year career with a single franchise, which almost never happens anymore. He came up through the Miami Hurricanes as an All-American, so the dominance started early. I also note he later turned author, suggesting a guy who wanted a voice beyond the field. That post-playing reinvention interests me as much as the tackles.
