NFL Man

For the non-NFL fan,  Ray Lewis is a former linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens and two time Superbowl winner. During that time he became an iconic NFL star and is a future hall of famer.

Ray Lewis is also well known for being involved in a double murder. Via USA today:
Only Lewis pleaded guilty in relation to the case: for obstruction of justice, a misdemeanor. He originally was charged with two counts of murder but struck a deal with prosecutors in exchange for his testimony against two of his companions that night, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting. 
Lewis never directly linked his two friends to the killings, and they were acquitted. Lewis had testified that Oakley, Sweeting and another man had gone to a sporting goods store the previous day to buy knives. Baker's blood later was found in Lewis' limo. Having fled the crime scene, Lewis told the limo's passengers to "keep their mouths shut." The white suit Lewis was wearing that night — on Super Bowl Sunday — never was found.
Ray Lewis' suit had the blood of two dead men on it.

The USA Today report is extensive and we suggest reading article in its entirety.

Not being in the spotlight, Ray Lewis took it upon himself to go onto the field and kneel during the National Anthem with the Ravens.

Only he could provide the gravitas needed for such a moment.

Ray Lewis also hosted a reality TV show called Coaching Bad:

Spike TV is developing a television series where former Miami Hurricane and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis will team up with anger management specialist Dr. Christian Conte to help coaches deal with anger related issues stemming from the stresses of the coaching profession.
Mr. Lewis is the man to lecture others about impulse control. The night his crew murdered two men he was coming off a $100,00 shopping spree.  Lewis also has six children by four different women.

A pillar of rectitude is he.
Blood on that suit too?
