OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens linebacker Daryl Smith epitomizes the player who goes to work, does his job and keeps his head down.
Smith generally doesn't get mentioned among the top linebackers in the NFL, and you get the sense that he really isn't bothered by that. Few realize he's the third-leading tackler in the NFL, and that includes Smith himself.
"Wow, really?," Smith said.
Even though he has never made a Pro Bowl, Smith has been one of the most consistent and durable linebackers over the last decade.
