I never had a job. My first job was quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.
Everybody knows I'm the biggest Dennis Pitta fan in the world.
I mean, let's be honest: the right thing was for me to come be a Baltimore Raven. That was the best thing that could happen to me for my professional career.
Ray Lewis, the greatest player ever, has been hurt a couple of times, but he has always come back strong.
I think the '06 Ravens, if we woulda won a championship, would have been considered maybe the best of all time, because statistically, I think that defense led the NFL in more categories than any other defense in history.
I know that everybody is not going to be a Terrell Suggs fan, and that's fine. For the people that are, I'm going to be myself and they are going to love me and they are going to enjoy it.
I already said it when I got drafted: I wanted to bring a Super Bowl to Baltimore.
In my eyes, there will never be another Haloti Ngata, but that comes from a biased perspective from me.
There's only one Ed Reed, man. No matter how you coach it, no matter how you line it up, there's only one Ed Reed.
When you think of Baltimore, you think of football. You don't think of anything else. This is what I want. I've always wanted it.
There's a love of San Diego that I will always cherish, but this is the East. It's football - these people love rooting for the Ravens, and this gives you extra motivation in life to go get what you want.
Baltimore has proven themselves on the football field. We can't take that away.
I tell people Baltimore is lucky to be rid of the Colts, they're so lousy, but I don't mean it.
I'm a big Michael Lewis fan. That said, my favorite Lewis book was 'The Blind Side.'
I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.
Baltimore's often called the most northern Southern town. It has a distinct essence. It's definitely post-industrial, definitely Rust Belt, very working-class. I grew up outside of Washington, and I felt I was moving to a completely different place when I moved 30 miles north out of college.
I'm an everything Baltimore fan.
I always will be a Raven. That's where I was kind of raised in the NFL. I did a lot of growing, and we did a lot of special things. That's something that can never be taken away, and it never will. There's a lot of love there.
I thought Ray Lewis was 6-6, 275 pounds, all muscle. I did a commercial with him before I even got drafted to the Baltimore Ravens. I was like, 'Oh, you're not that tall.' But it's just something about that guy.
I love Baltimore, I want to retire a raven
You don't hear about tradition in the NFL, but we have a tradition in Baltimore. It was just an awesome place to be.
