Is Ray Lewis the only one on our team with a ring?

[Raven07]

other than front office, I believe so, since JO and Stover Retired. Ray is also the only active player from the 1996 NFL draft.

[K-Dog]

Not just with the Ravens though.
Any other teams.

[H8R]

nope. Well, Pees might...right?

Dennis Dixon has a ring from Pittsburgh's 2008 run. Anquan Boldin, James Ihedigbo, and Brendon Ayanbadejo are the only other players on this team who have played in a Super Bowl.

Wow!

I had no idea until I just read your comment! That's something else. I was intrigued by this fact, so I decided to look up some more information about it...

From what I can find, it seems that Ray Lewis is tied with Adam Vinatieri for the second-longest playing active member of the NFL. Vinatieri's career also started in 1996, but he was undrafted.

The only longer playing active member of the NFL is Jason Hanson, who has spent his entire career with the Detroit Lions since he was drafted in the second round in 1992.

Among non-kickers, Ray Lewis is the longest playing active member of the NFL! That's something else...

Brendon Ayanbadejo has a ring. He was on the 2000 team as a practice squad/offseason teammate.

DO I WIN A PRIZE!?!?!?

Unless you're going by memory (I don't know who remembers practice squad members from over a decade ago, but I could be wrong), all I can find says he was on the team in 2001, not 2000. His brother, Obafemi won a ring in 2000 with us as a fullback.

He flashed his Ravens Super Bowl ring in this video following the Titans Divisional Win in 2008. He flashes it at the 36 second mark:


And if you go to his wikipedia page, it says he was an off-season teammate for our 2000 team.

Man I'm good.

[chrisbraven]

Who was that ring from? It didn't seem to neccessarily be a Ravens ring.

Ding! Ding! Yep. If you ever rewatch the 2000 Super Bowl. You will see BA congratulating Stokley after he catches a TD.

When I read the OP's question, he was the first guy that came to my mind. But you beat me to it.

Wiki says 2001 for me, and no mention of a Super Bowl ring. Not that Wikipedia is the most reliable source, but I can't seem to find anything else about it.
There's a discussion in the comments for that YouTube video about how he has a ring, and thinking that he might be wearing his brother's. I don't think he was part of the 2000 squad.

I freeze framed it. EDIT: #30 is Obafemi, my bad.

[PuRock]

Ah. That is Obafemi. That clarifies that. It all makes sense now. I thought it was strange that BA was on the sideline.

[Footman DCXLV]

That's Obafemi Ayanbadejo, his older brother. He played fullback for us.

I seemed to forget about him. He got injured earlier in the year. I remember watching the game a while back and seeing Ayanbadejo and I looked up Brendan and I saw he was on our practice squad. But I drew a blank with Obafemi.

It makes a lot of sense now.

[Footman DCXLV]

I think there must have been something else going on with the ring in that video, whether it was Obafemi's, or something else. I'm pretty sure BA was not part of the 2000 Super Bowl team.
Staying on the topic, though, that would mean the only other member of that roster who is still active in the NFL is Brandon Stokley, who we just saw with Denver. But, as he'll be 37 by the beginning of next season, who knows if he'll still be active by then.

[qredett]

Well i don't know, but hopefully after this year everyone will!

Why on earth would he be wearing his brother's ring? That doesn't make any sense to me.

[Footman DCXLV]

Not arguing with you on that point. But, I can't find anything that says he was a part of the 2000 team, or that he received a Super Bowl ring. Again, Wiki says 2001, not 2000.
