As a person who watched a lot of sports throughout the years the player with the biggest influence on me has been Ray Lewis. The first time I ever saw Ray Lewis play was in 2008 as a kid and even though I still didn't understand a lot about football I couldn't help but notice how hard and ferocious he played. As I grew older and started to actually learn football I started to realize that Ray was a truly special player who not only played his hardest on the filed but studied the hardest in the film room too. Ray is truly a great example of a leader who could rally his troops together and get them to play at a high level, he even won a championship being the leader of a defense carrying the god awful offense that was lead by Trent Dilfer. His passion and fire for the game was something I had never seen before and it has helped me give that extra bit effort towards things I do whether its something I enjoy or not because that extra bit of effort could mean everything. Ray Lewis was the first of many players I look up to and a person ill never forget.
