This is the Ravens' latest investment in Baltimore schools and students. The team has spent millions in helping with school renovations, uniform donations, bookmobiles and countless food distributions.
Newsome, the NFL's first African American general manager, was known as one of the league's top decision-makers when he ran the Ravens' personnel department from the team's inaugural season in until the end of the season. He drafted 25 Pro Bowl players as well as three Hall of Fame ones, which created the fan rallying cry "In Ozzie we trust.
Bisciotti called Newsome "the torch-bearer of our stability and continuity" and believes this scholarship program won't be the last time he gets to single him out. In keeping with Ozzie, whatever those duties are, he's going to outperform them. Skip to main content Skip to navigation. Baltimore Ravens. Arizona Cardinals. Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Ravens was listed first three times, the Colts twice, and the Bulldogs once. The Modells took the process a step further by partnering with The Baltimore Sun to get more voters and host one more poll.
The Sun's finalists poll began on March 28 and lasted approximately 24 hours. Each name was subjected to a random telephone poll. The Baltimore Sun announced a record-breaking 33, callers telephoned their votes to Sundial, a then-popular feature of the newspaper where readers would interact and express their opinions. The tally: Ravens 22,, Americans 5,, and Marauders 5, At noon, on Wednesday, June 5, the team announced its colors: black, purple and metallic gold.
But the process took almost two months. Primarily, Bisciotti learned the importance of hard work, which is something that has remained with him ever since. In short, Bisciotti apparently had a learning disability that made academics a serious challenge for him. Something that made his school experience not particularly fun to say the least. In spite of this, Bisciotti persevered, with the result that he graduated from Salisbury University with a degree in the liberal arts.
For those who are unfamiliar, Salisbury University started out as the Maryland State Normal School in the s before undergoing a number of name changes to become its current incarnation in the early s, which is presumably a reference to its location in Salisbury, MD. When he was still a student, Bisciotti was a pretty physical person. For example, he was fond of playing baseball, basketball, and football, with the result that he was on his high school football team. Likewise, he would work in construction in the summertime, where it is said that he never shied away from the hard work that needed to get done.
Nowadays, Bisciotti is a billionaire, but it is clear that he retains his fondness for sports, as shown by how he bought up his hometown team. Upon graduation, Bisciotti went to work for a staffing firm, which went bankrupt. The startup was Aerotek, which went on to become the Allegis Group. In the present time, Forbes considers the Allegis Group to be the single biggest privately-held talent management firm that can be found in the entire world, meaning that it has come very far indeed.
However, it is important to note its humble beginnings, as shown by how Bisciotti needed to borrow money from his former boss in order to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend Renee Foote. Personality-wise, Bisciotti has been described as being a pretty upfront kind of person.
