Ray Lewis, HOF

Very few deserve first ballot Hall of Fame. Ray Lewis easily deserves the honor. The man that most NFL personnel departments had as "too short" dominated the NFL for 17 years.

Former Ravens MLB Ray Lewis elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame in first year of eligibility

"Lewis learned Saturday afternoon that he can now check off another box and revel in the highest individual honor of a player’s career. Exactly five years after he played his last game and went out as a Super Bowl champion, Lewis was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility."

Tallying Up the Final Numbers on Ray Lewis' Hall of Fame Career

"Of the four seasons where he didn't make the Pro Bowl, three of them were due to injuries shortening his season, as he only played five games in 2002, six games in 2005 and six games in 2012.

Only injuries seemed to keep Lewis from Hawaii."

Is there a player that has been more polarizing than Ray Lewis? A master at his craft and a devastating hitter.
What an amazing story his life is, from murder suspect to arguably the best linebacker to ever play the game and a man who found god.
For sure hall of famer.

Good video, I like it..

The best ever...but I'm an Urlacher fan (see your other post!).
