Baltimore Ravens and their ace on special teams

While talking about his role, Levine did state, “Special teams is one play, all-out. It’s basically a free-for-all. It’s your chance to go out and make an impact.” He did find his calling in a role that required real determination and was not at all something that people were ready to do. But he did end up gaining a reputation for being the toughest man in the Baltimore defense. Levine did give opposition coaches headaches with his toughness and did earn their respect over the years.

He did come up with huge plays during their 2018 AFC North title win over Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield. He also has fond memories about Steelers QB and fellow retiree Ben Roethlisberger and how he did make a nuisance. A big role model for their youngsters, Ravens will really miss Levine for what he brought on and off the field.

A great team leader and elite defender, Ravens fans will always remember his contributions for their future and their past. A selfless team player Co-Cap Levine will continue to add to his legacy in Baltimore in the 2022 campaign.
