Ray Lewis Statue In Preparations!
Linebacker  Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens has  reached his retirement. What are the Ravens planning on doing in his honor? Well build a statue of him of course. Lewis played his final game of his legendary 17 year long career for the Baltimore Ravens football team in Sunday night’s super bowl victory against the San Fransisco 49ers. Lewis was a two-time NFL defensive player of the year and a 12- time pro bowl linebacker. Bisciotti stated that they are not yet sure where the statue will be bulit or placed or how long it will take but the plans are being considered. They intend to follow the statue of the Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas outside of the M&T Bank Stadium. Many stated that he set himself apart and made Baltimore sports history. They are looking into getting started on the statue as soon as possible and are looking forward to it being built and finished in the next year or two. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh stated that Lewis will always be welcome to come visit and have talks with the team, however he will not be a part of the staff next season. Lewis was offered an oportunity to help coach however it is said that he declined the offer, at least for right now. Lewis was an excellent linebacker and will always be looked upon in the future walking around proud to have won the super bowl in what looks to be his final football game.
