Through the first half of the 2014 season, Jimmy Smith looked like a Pro Bowl cornerback. He was realizing the massive potential the Ravens saw in him as a first-round pick in 2011.
That player has been missing for the past year and a half due to injuries.
As Smith is set to begin his sixth NFL season, he and those around him feel like they could rediscover that top cornerback again.
“He’s 100 percent healthy,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. “Now if he can get all of the quickness, and the speed, and change of direction back to where it was, then we’ll have the Jimmy Smith that we all know.
