For Ravens' Steve Smith, age is just a number

Ravens veteran wide receiver Steve Smith downplays his age (36), but he has to train extremely hard to maintain his high level of play.

The Ravens have had several players who have played past their prime, but as they got older they trained harder.

Former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis made the mountain run at Oregon Ridge part of his regular regiment and his former teammate, safety Ed Reed, love to build and train in sand pits. He had one built over at The Castle as part of his negotiations once.

Former Ravens tight end Shannon Sharpe employed his own personal chef and she often followed him around at the team's old training facility in Owings Mills when it was time for lunch or dinner.
