It feels a bit weird to say, but Jimmy Smith is now entering his ninth season with the Ravens. Alongside Brandon Carr, Smith is a rare veteran and elder head in a young cornerback corps featuring Marlon Humphrey, Tavon Young, and Anthony Averett, among others.
From top-to-bottom, Baltimore may have the most talent at the cornerback position in the entire league, and Smith certainly plays a big part in this. Smith’s always been very good in press/man coverage, but his availability has unfortunately been his biggest weakness over the years.
