The youngster who was poised to become a shutdown corner has fallen off the map of late. Are injuries to blame?
Cornerback Jimmy Smith was practically destined to be the next great Raven defender when he was selected with the team's first pick just five years ago. With great intangibles, physicality, decision-making, a 4.4 40-yard dash, the stars were all aligned for a budding superstar. It may have taken him a few seasons, but Smith finally burst out onto the scene last season, and proved why the Ravens selected him with their first pick in 2011.
