Lewis was also named NFL AP Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and 2003. Ray was a part of both the Pro Football Hall of Fame 1st Team All-2000’s Team and the Pro Football Reference 1st Team All 2000’s Team.
Stats wise Lewis ended his career with 227 games started, in those games he collected thirty-one interceptions, 41.5 sacks, 1,562 tackles in the regular season. In the post-season Lewis played in twenty-one playoff games, going 14-7 in those games.

Ray is arguably the best linebacker to ever play the game of football. Come August Ray should be sporting that gold jacket and have a bust in Canton.
