Roquan Smith on the rise: Linebacker's early impact on Ravens' defense

Though he has only played one game as a member of the Baltimore Ravens, linebacker Roquan Smith has made an impact on the team.

The Ravens had a double-digit win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Smith played 76 percent of the snaps and had five combined tackles in the matchup.

Smith spoke with WBAL's Melissa Kim on Wednesday. When asked how he's acclimated to the defense so quickly, Smith credited his teammates and coaches.

"I pride that on myself just being a pro at the end of the day," Smith said. "It's great guys in this locker room that is helping that transition making it go over a lot smoother and then just being out there with the coaches helping me without the week in practice.
