Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis has become one of the league’s elder statesman. His leadership and passion for the game are unmatched, and have helped him carve out a wildly successful 14-year career.

In an interview with Rich Eisen on NFL Total Access, Lewis talked about his impressions of Baltimore’s rookie class, and also discussed his role as a mentor not just for the Ravens young stars, but for players around the league.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the exchange, however, comes when Lewis takes a look back at his attempt to teach Eisen how to take on a blocking sled at the 2005 Pro Bowl. Check it out in the above video.
