Baltimore Ravens star Roquan Smith continues his climb up the NFL ranks.
Choosing the best player on a stacked Baltimore Ravens defense can be tricky, but when one player is clearly the heart and soul of the unit, it becomes a bit easier.
Smith's impact isn't lost on those around the league, as he came in at No. 19 on the annual NFL Top 100, as voted on by players themselves. This is five spots higher than Smith's No. 24 placement last year and his highest placement to date. "The Ravens defense did its part in the AFC title game loss to the eventual champion Chiefs, souring Smith’s first full season in Baltimore, but the leadership he’ll provide in the years to come isn’t a question."
Smith will have a new pupil this season in Trenton Simpson, who's stepping in for the departed Patrick Queen, but taking into account how good of a mentor Smith is, it should be a relatively smooth transition.
