Baltimore Ravens legend Ray Lewis is well-recognized as one of the biggest NFL talents ever. The former middle linebacker is a two-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl MVP.
In 2018, Lewis was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
On Thursday, Baltimore announced the seven-time first-team All-Pro would be going into the EA Madden NFL Ring of Honor.
A cover athlete for Madden NFL 2005, Lewis is one of five athletes inducted into this year’s Ring of Honor class, alongside Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas and Washington Commanders safety Sean Taylor.
In Lewis’ 17-year career with the Ravens, he twice won NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The 12-time Pro Bowler accumulated 2,059 combined tackles, most all-time.
He also had 31 interceptions, 96 passes defended, 19 forced fumbles, 20 fumble recoveries, 41.5 sacks, 99 TFLs, 40 QB hits and one safety.

Lewis played in 21 playoff games in his career over nine seasons. He is the all-time postseason leader in combined tackles (218), solo tackles (137) and forced fumbles (six).
The 49-year-old was Baltimore’s first-round pick, 26th overall, in the 1996 NFL Draft out of the University of Miami.
