Durabilty separates Lewis from other great MLBs

WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) — There is no way to determine for sure if Ray Lewis is the best middle linebacker in NFL history.

Many would argue in his favor. Others might suggest Hall of Fame stars Ray Nitschke, Mike Singletary, Dick Butkus, Jack Lambert and Willie Lanier were more talented and fearsome.

This much is certain: No one has played the position as effectively for so long as Ray Anthony Lewis.

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for their 15th NFL season, and so too is Lewis. He has played in 194 games, more than any of those other prominent middle linebackers.

Lewis says the "love of the game" keeps him going. That, and his fervent pursuit of another Super Bowl trophy.
