Dubé started working in Cleveland when Newsome was still a player. Dubé was one of the select few members of the team that made the move to Baltimore in 1996, and he was the Ravens' most seasoned NFL staffer.

But more than longevity, Dubé was known for being an innovator. He was responsible for implementing the NFL's cutting-edge gameday technology, in accordance with video rules and regulations. He headed a team responsible for providing Baltimore's coaching and scouting staffs with game and practice footage, as well as opponent and college footage.

After the Polaroid pictures came print-outs on medical-like paper. Two of his biggest projects was making the shift from film to video, then from video to digital. When Dubé began making DVD cutups for players to take home and study, it spread like wildfire.

You know those tablets that players grab as soon as they come to the sideline to review plays? Dubé was heavily involved in that as part of the NFL Video Directors Committee, which he served on for 13 years (2011-23).

On and on the process went, with Dubé working with vendors, pitching the organization to invest in the latest technology, installing the equipment and workflows, and getting everybody comfortable with the evolution. Dubé is thankful to have an organization that trusted him to find and implement the best tools.

"We were never afraid to push it, constantly come trying to come up with new stuff," Dubé said. "You always wipe the slate clean every year, just like you do as a football team. What can we put in our coaches' and players' hands to make to make their lives easier, to get to serve them, to study better, to prepare better, to do whatever better?"

It's not the first time that Dubé has been honored. He was also named the 2017 Collegiate Sports Video Association's NFL Hall of Fame Award winner, becoming the first active video director to receive the prestigious award.

Dubé's fondest memories were the Ravens' two Super Bowls. But it was the relationships he built that will last a lifetime. Getting the Hall call from Newsome, with General Manager Eric DeCosta and Head Coach John Harbaugh nearby, still makes him emotional. Now he'll have a permanent place among the greats for all to see.
