PLAYERS: Ray Lewis
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens

As the Hall of Fame career of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis winds down,  there’s some belief amongst his teammates that he’ll retire at the end of this season–if the Ravens end up winning the Super Bowl,  according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Lewis has put together one of the most impressive careers of any NFL linebacker, because he’s still able to play at such a high level at the age of 36. This season alone,  Lewis has 95 total tackles,  2 sacks,  2 forced fumbles and 1 interception– while still missing four regular season games because of a toe injury. Lewis is now healthy and raring to go as the Ravens looks to capture their second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
