Ray had the better career obviously. But I have seen Willis do things on the field that just can't be explained..

Which one danced and fake cried often and pretended to be uber-religious? That's the answer.

I honestly don't know if this is an answerable question. Both were elite of elite, both dictated offenses gameplans, and both were absolutely forces to be reckoned with.

Ray Lewis had Ngata, Bart Scott, and Suggs.

Willis had Justin Smith, and other extreme talent too.

I dunno, I just can't pick between the two.

Willis makes Lewis look like he's running in sand. Different tier athlete

Lewis had a killer instinct that Willis never possessed.

Agree. I hate Lewis but his leadership is off the charts.

I think Willis is more athletic, but Ray Ray is the better backer.

My thought as well. I cast my vote to Willis.

Both were my favorite football players of all time, not just LBs. Love Willis, but Ray Lewis was one of a kind.

I'll take a stab at this question. Lewis had a sharper eye for the game.

This is irrelevant to their abilities as a linebacker. That's like saying Randall Cunningham was a better QB than Joe Montana.

Really? Speed doesn't matter a ILB? At all? In no game situations?
