Age vs. youth in Steve Smith vs. Jalen Ramsey on Sunday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Baltimore’s Steve Smith doesn’t look like he’s the oldest wide receiver in the NFL, and he certainly doesn’t play like it.

He’s still a very good player – he’s 10th on the NFL’s all-time list with 14,015 receiving yards and has caught a pass in 131 consecutive games – but playing at a high level is more difficult than it used to be, especially when he looks across the line of scrimmage and sees guys like Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

"It’s a tough game and as you get older, it doesn’t get easier," Smith said.
