Ray Lewis was the Baltimore Ravens. The unquestioned leader of the Ravens hard-hitting defenses, Lewis was able to shift momentum of a game with his hard hits, ability to stuff the run, bat passes, or take down the quarterback. In 2000, he led the Ravens to their first Super Bowl win, while his defense held opponents to just 10 points per game, pitching four shutouts. He ended his career with a win over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVIII in 2012.
