Ray Lewis. 3. player. 26. <p>Ray Lewis was the second draft pick in Ravens history when he was the No. 26 selection in 1996 out of Miami. The first was Jonathan Ogden who was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2014. Lewis was the fourth linebacker taken in the first round after Kevin Hardy, John Mobley and Reggie Brown, but you’d be hard pressed to name four middle linebackers to ever play the game who were better than Lewis.</p> <p>For 17 seasons, Lewis was the heart and soul of the Ravens and their unquestioned leader who led them to nine playoff appearances and a pair of Super Bowl’s. The undisputed premier linebacker of his generation, Lewis made 13 Pro Bowl teams and won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2000 and 2003.</p> <p>He retired after the 2013 season and will be inducted in the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.</p>. MLB. Baltimore Ravens
