BALTIMORE (AP) — Ravens coach John Harbaugh, his players and former star linebacker Ray Lewis visited two Baltimore schools Thursday to help quell tension in the city following days of rioting.
Harbaugh believes he's got plenty in common with the people he met, including the desire for the Ravens to be a winner.
They didn't go at it alone. The group included around 55 players, including quarterback Joe Flacco.
"Ray just did a phenomenal job," Harbaugh said.
It was the beginning of a long day for Harbaugh, because the first round of the NFL draft was to be held that evening. But this was an opportunity that he wasn't going to miss,Wholesale Jerseys Online, and afterward he was certain the trip was worth it.
Several Douglass students were involved in confrontations with police on Monday, when violence escalated after the funeral of Freddie Gray, who died of spinal cord and other injuries while in police custody.
Harbaugh said he and Lewis, who played 17 seasons with the Ravens, were texting each other in an effort to come up with a plan to help the city regain a sense of normalcy.
"I saw what everybody else was watching the last week. I saw people on TV that I knew or met down there making peace," Harbaugh said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "That's what inspired me; whatever we could do to be part of that."
"We've got a bunch of guys on our team that care deeply for the city and believe in Baltimore," the coach said. "They just wanted to come down here and talk to them as well."
In addition to unloading food and toiletries from trailers, members of the contingent spoke to students at Frederick Douglass High School and Matthew A. Henson Elementary School.
"We had a great time. We were laughing with people," Harbaugh said. "There were some hard questions. The young people of Frederick Douglass, the elementary school we went to, even people on the street walking back and forth,Wholesale China Jerseys Free Shpping, these are talented, good people that care about Baltimore and want to make a difference and do things right."
"There's no question that the city is going to come out of this better and stronger than because of the heart of the people. It's going to be tough and challenging, but I know the people of Baltimore are going to stand up for the city."
"We said our opportunity is going to come, and this is it,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys," Harbaugh said.

Lewis, who was known for his impassionate,Brent Seabrook Jersey, emotional speeches to the team during his playing days, used that skill in addressing the students.
