Ray Lewis is an outlier not fair to compare him to current prospects, also when he was coming out the draft in 96 that was the big knock against him that he was too light, when Ray was in his prime in the early 2000s he was 250lbs that's how the game was back then he was taking on huge running backs like Jerome Betts and Eddie George, then later in his career the game changed again with more passing and he played in the 230s. Most modern NFL lbs are in that range .
Here's a few articles, one about him being overlooked for his height and weight of 235lbs at the draft.
