Ray Lewis, the "Original Tim Tebow," Announces Retirement

          I admire any Christ-follower in the NFL (player, coach, etc.) who isn't just vocal and explicit about their faith to the media and football fans, but also charitable and showing themselves to be a diligent, honorable, team player and shepherd-like leader to the team itself. There's a long list of people like that, and one of them just announced his retiremen: Ray Lewis.
          A Baltimore sports columnist takes time to dissect the title of "original Tim Tebow" here, and I'd encourage all NFL fans to do some research on the soon-to-retire Ray Lewis, both a sinner saved by God's grace and amazing linebacker.

Let's not go too far. Lewis was at the center of a murder investigation, which many believe him to have been a part of, considering the suit he was wearing the night of the stabbing has never been found.

But yes, he is one of the best NFL Linebackers of all time.

I understand any run-in with the law is a blemish, but it's not as if any of the press (including Sports Illustrated or even the FCA) didn't take it into account before lauding him both as a player/leader and as man of faith.
