Ravens' Roquan Smith eliciting Ray Lewis comparisons

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Roquan Smith ran the linebacker drill to perfection, but he was asked to do it again.

It was eight years ago at a football camp in Bradenton, Florida, and Smith was a sophomore at the University of Georgia. He read how the center, guard and running back moved and took the correct angle to make the tackle. That's when Baltimore Ravens Hall of Famer, and camp instructor, Ray Lewis told him to repeat it.

"This is how you do it," Lewis told the other players, urging them to watch Smith's patience, feet and vision.
