It is such an honor to retire as a Raven. My family and I have been forever impacted by this first class organization. Thank you to the ownership, coaches and fans for all the love and support over the years. Once a Raven, always a Raven.
I shared my story with
@NatGeoMag
about what itβs like to be racially profiled during a traffic stop, and the ripple effect such incidents can have on families and communities. Issue hits newsstands today.

The way to address diversity is not by getting rid of the people who hold your feet to the fire, but to actually listen to those people and take the proper actions.
Some personal news: This will be my final week with the NFL Media Group. I was informed over the weekend that my contract is not being renewed. I thank NFL Network and for the lessons learned and affirmed over the last five years.
Today should've been Ahmaud Arbery's 26th birthday. Instead, our nation is mourning. Because of the local conflict of interest,
@playercoalition
, other athletes, and I are urging Attorney General Barr, to have the FBI and the DOJ investigate this tragic death. We need action.
Nationwide, Black kids are more than 4 times as likely than white kids to be locked up. In some states that number is as high as 10 to 1. Skin color should not determine how we treat anyone and it certainly shouldn't determine how we treat children

As adults itβs our job to nurture & mold youth into responsible, productive adults vs those who only hinder where we want to be as a society. We can do that through education, not through prisons, where they feel unworthy & unwanted.

Itβs amazing to me how often I get a text w/ a video like this attached asking why does this continue to happen. Although I donβt have all the answers one thing I do know is that we can make sure we elect the right DA(district attorney), those who arenβt afraid to prosecute...

We need to start putting people over profit. As citizens of this democracy, voting is an essential right for folks to have their voice heard. Systems like this were built to keep people down but collectively we will rise

Last year,
