Roquan Smith is confident the Ravens’ defense can still thrive after offseason departures
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) - Roquan Smith is in midseason form, in terms of sound bites at least.
"We still have a lot of these dogs on the team, and it's just about staying hungry," the Baltimore linebacker said this week. "We hunt as a pack, and I think of like safaris and things like that - like a pack of hyenas, lions or whoever it is, don't really want to run up on those guys. So I feel like we got that kind of mindset and guys on all three levels."
Although two-time MVP Lamar Jackson is hard to match in terms of popularity, Smith is certainly capable of sharing the role of face of the franchise.
Now entering his second full season with the Ravens, his presence may be the biggest reason Baltimore’s defense could remain elite this upcoming season despite some significant losses in free agency.
