Former NFL defensive lineman Travis Johnson was no Ray Lewis on the field, but he sure can give Lewis' off-field persona a run for his money.
Johnson, a former No. 1 pick who spent six seasons with Houston and San Diego, donned a Lewis costume for Halloween and gave a motivational trick-or-treat speech for the ages. Johnson has the look, the mannerisms, and the inflections all down pat. The material was also outstanding because as we all know, "if tomorrow wasn't promised, how would you trick or treat for today?"
Coincidentally, Lewis was in attendance for Sunday's game and delivered one of his textbook motivational speeches to Ravens players in the locker room before the game. Perhaps uncoincidentally, Baltimore prevailed 29-26 over the Chargers.
