The More You Know About Ravens Saftey Fish Smithson, the More Ironic His Name Is

The Ravens made a roster move Tuesday and signed defensive back Fish Smithson as the regular season quickly approaches.

The move probably didn't catch your eye because most signings in late-August rarely spike interest. They mean a lot for depth and special teams units, but not much for Super Bowl predictions or fantasy football drafts.

But this signing carries some interest because Smithson is a Baltimore native. Oh, and his name is Fish and he has some enlightening personal anecdotes that make his name even more amazing than you first thought.

For starters, Fish (who has Anthony on his birth certificate) got his name from his grandmother.
