Steve Smith is retired from football, but that doesn’t mean he’s off his game.
During an NFL Network segment on Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, Michael Irvin said Flacco hadn’t had a trustworthy receiver since Anquan Boldin left in 2012. But Smith, a former Ute, played for the Ravens in 2014-16.
“I understand you have the rings,” Smith told Irvin, “but I passed you statistically years ago. There ain’t no route I could run that you hoped you could run. I got a doctorate in route running, you got an associate’s degree."
Let’s just say in trash talking, Smith graduated magna cum laude.
