Mike Singletary On Ray Lewis

49ers head coach Mike Singletary, explaining why he feels Ravens LB Ray Lewis is the best in the game, as quoted on TahoeDailyTribune.com: “I think it depends on how you look at it, how you break it down. But I think Ray Lewis is one of those guys that is the epitome of the throwback linebacker. I think Ray is a guy that plays the game at a very high level. He can be very physical at times. I think the other thing that stands out and really makes him valuable to the Baltimore Ravens is his ability to lead that team. I think as great a player as he is, the greatest attribute he has is his ability to bring that team together. So any coach that comes in there, he’s going to have an opportunity to have a great football team because of what’s happening in that locker room. Ray is not going to let it go bad. So that’s probably the No. 1 guy that jumps to my mind.”
