Getty ImagesTuesday’s Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network features an interview of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. Among other things, Ray is asked to share with football fans something they should know about former Ravens defensive coordinator and current Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, who is fighting a treatable form of leukemia.
“That he’s a man of men,” Lewis said. “He’s a man that people want to aspire to be like. That when you grow up as a man, that when you’re around Chuck you realize that, you know what, if life offers nothing else it offered me the opportunity to be around a man. A true man.”
Ray’s full response appears below. His full interview appears in roughly two hours, on the show that airs starting at 5:00 p.m. ET on NBCSN.

Excellently put. All of Ravens nation is pulling for you, Chuck. Godspeed and hope you fully recover as expected.
Ray Lewis brings me to tears like twice per year. It happened when he was on the NFLN set talking about Torrey Smith and it almost happened as I read this. I hope he plays forever.
Best wishes to the Pagano family.
If a warrior like Ray Lewis calls You a “man of men ”
then that is all that needs to be said to convince me.
That’s quite the statement, coming from a man who many people would say the same thing about.
Get well soon, Chuck Pagano.
Remember when Ray Lewis killed those two guys…. errrrr… interfered in an investigation involving his posse and two dead guys? Good times. Good times.
