CB Jimmy Smith retiring after 11 seasons with Baltimore Ravens

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Nearly a decade after the biggest play of his career, cornerback Jimmy Smith will announce his retirement with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday.

A news conference is scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Smith, 34, spent 11 seasons in Baltimore and will forever be remembered for stopping Michael Crabtree from making a catch on a fourth-down goal-line stand, which preserved the Ravens' 34-31 Super Bowl XLVII victory over the San Francisco 49ers in February 2013.

A year later, 49ers fans still accused Smith of holding Crabtree in the end zone.
