The wide smile on Roquan Smith’s face made it clear how he felt about his new surroundings.
Smith was upbeat Wednesday when speaking with Baltimore-area media for the first time since he was traded from the Chicago Bears to the Ravens this week.
Although changing teams is often jarring, this is an opportunity for the standout linebacker to contribute to a contender.
“I’m excited, and I know they’re trying to get over the hump and win the big game,” Smith said. “I feel like I can be one of the guys that can help with that, so I’m excited to be able to give everything I have to make that happen.
