Ray Lucas (born August 6, 1972 in Harrison, New Jersey) is a studio analyst for the show Jets Nation on New York City-based sports network SportsNet New York. His previous career was as a football quarterback in the National Football League, where he played for three teams, the New England Patriots, the New York Jets, and the Miami Dolphins during his seven year career from 1996 to 2002. Lucas is a graduate of Harrison High School in Harrison. Ray played his college football at Rutgers University.
Lucas spent most of his career in the NFL in a backup role. In the 1999 NFL season, after quarterback Vinny Testaverde was injured in the first game of the season, Rick Mirer took the helm, winning four of ten games. Lucas took over afterward and lost his first two starts but won his next four games to give the Jets an 8–8 record for the season.
