The No. 22 Should Soon be Available

The Ravens made Jimmy Smith their No. 1 pick in 2011. At the time, it was considered to be a risky pick because many so-called experts labeled him a problem child. And while Smith hasn’t been clean during his entire career in Baltimore, he hasn’t exactly been the disruptive force that draft analysts predicted.

Steve Bisciotti once shared a story with me about Smith. He said that the day the Ravens hosted Jimmy and Torrey Smith for their introductory press conference, Steve approached Jimmy following the presser, before he was whisked away to the airport.
