Lewis passionately addressed the crowd of fans, sharing the story of his legacy from start to finish. He spent his 17-year career with the Ravens. During his time with the Ravens, he won the Super Bowl twice.

Sculptor Frederick Kail worked closely with Lewis to capture in bronze an iconic Ray Lewis pose. The statue stands right in front of Gate A at the stadium.

Ray was joined at the unveiling by Steve Bisciotti, Ozzie Newsome, his family and former teammates.
