EXCLUSIVE: Two-time Super Bowl champion Ray Lewis has signed with Paradigm for representation in all areas.
With 2,061 career tackles, 41.5 sacks, 31 interceptions, 19 forced fumbles, and 67 pass defenses, Lewis remains the only player in NFL history to record 40 sacks and 30 interceptions. He holds the NFL record for the most combined tackles in a single season (214 in 1997) and the most career tackles in the postseason.
He played his entire 17-season career for the Baltimore Ravens, becoming one of the greatest linebackers to play football. He celebrated two Super Bowl victories with the team, including a Super Bowl MVP award for his commanding performance in Super Bowl XXXV.
“I’ve always believed the greatest battles are won with alignment, discipline, and faith. With Paradigm behind me across every division, the vision just got stronger, and the mission just got louder,” Lewis, who is celebrating his 50th birthday today, shared in a statement.

Off the field, Lewis has built a successful second act as a media personality and entrepreneur. He became a New York Times best-selling author with his memoir, I Feel Like Going On, where he opened up about pain, redemption, faith, and legacy. He has served as a co-host on Showtime’s Inside the NFL, made regular guest appearances on Fox Sports’ Undisputed, and competed on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Most recently, Lewis served as an analyst on Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football broadcast.
Paradigm will represent Lewis in all areas, including scripted and unscripted television, publishing, brand partnerships, broadcasting, and IP. Projects already in development include a definitive documentary with a major studio, a limited series, and multiple scripted and unscripted ventures, all being brokered by Paradigm and set to be announced soon, which Lewis is producing alongside his producing partner and EP Nadine Christine Hamdan.
He also founded the Ray of Hope Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to support underprivileged youth and families through mentorship, scholarships, and community resources. In 2015, he co-founded Power52, a community solar initiative that provides sustainable energy and workforce development to underserved neighborhoods.
“Ray Lewis is an icon, both on and off the field. His legacy is one of overcoming adversity, faith, redemption, leadership, and the power of a relentless mindset. For over two decades, he has been a transformative force in sports and culture, and we are excited to share his story with global audiences and explore the full spectrum of his potential,” said Nick LoPiccolo, Head of The Sports Group at Paradigm.
Lewis is the latest sports star to join Paradigm’s roster, which includes Mike Tyson, Aaron Donald, Amanda Serrano, Reggie Bush, Sean Avery, and a collective of the top talent on the WWE roster.
Lewis continues to be represented by Michael Weiss of Concentric Law.
