Linebacker Daryl Smith Brings Veteran Leadership To OTAs

Daryl Smith has spent much of his NFL career flying under the radar.

But when the Ravens took the field for their first week of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), the veteran middle linebacker was certainly noticed. Smith, a 12-year veteran, was the defense’s elder statesman during the voluntary practices, and his attendance garnered praise from teammates and coaches.

“It means a lot seeing a guy of that stature who has been in the league that long coming out here and putting the work in just like us,” third-year defensive tackle Brandon Williams said.
