Jeff Zrebiec, who covers he Baltimore Ravens for The Athletic, reported that Lewis wants to play for the Ravens.
Alabama LB Terrell Lewis said he sees himself fitting in with Ravens. Said Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs are two guys he looks up to.

It seems to work out perfectly that two players he looked up to are Terrell Suggs and Ray Lewis – when putting their names together you get Terrell Lewis.
Baltimore is no stranger to drafting Alabama talent. Their former general manager, Ozzie Newsome, was a former tight end for the Crimson Tide, and he let the direct connection to Alabama be known.
There are currently five Alabama products in the Ravens organization, and Lewis would like to make it six.
He’s got the numbers to back up a first-round projection. After missing 2018 due to injury, his 2019 consisted of 31 total tackles, six sacks, two pass deflections and a fumble recovery.
The Ravens have not yet publicly responded to Lewis’ open-ended request. Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on this possible relationship.
