WATCH: Ravens legend Ray Lewis had the time of his life at the 2023 Pro Bowl Games

Though the 2023 Pro Bowl Games featured a game of flag football instead of a full four-quarter event, passion ran high for the AFC’s defense which was led by Baltimore Ravens legendary inside linebacker Ray Lewis. The Hall of Famer served as the conference’s defensive coordinator, and gave it his all while having fun in the process.

Lewis was mic’d up on the sideline for the occasion and gave fans a great look at his competitive spirit with his enthusiasm and investment in the game that took place. He interacted with his players, joked around, and shared his love for the Ravens in the process.

Patrolling the sideline like a veteran coach, Lewis called plays for the AFC’s defense with a walkie-talkie, which made for some interesting shots of his involvement in the affair. Fabled rapper Snoop Dogg, an avid football fan and successful youth football coach, was the team captain for the AFC and accompanied Lewis on the field to comedic effect.

Watching Lewis instruct his squad in the friendly matchup, one could be forgiven for thinking that he might have aspirations of getting back into the NFL as an assistant coach. While that would be unlikely given that he seems content in his retirement, Lewis’ presence in Baltimore as a mentor for younger talent is well documented, and could possibly have a spot on the Ravens’ staff should he ever want one.
