In the second round of the 2011 NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Torrey Smith from the University of Maryland. I’m especially familiar with this kid. Smith had a great career at Maryland, graduated and decided to leave school with a year of eligibility remaining.
Smith is the big, fast presence the Ravens have badly needed for years from an outside receiver. Donte’ Stallworth was expected to be used in that role last season, but broke his foot in the preseason and never got himself going with the offense.
The new wide receiver will be to the Ravens what Mike Wallace is to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a downfield threat.
I’m looking forward to watching Smith play opposite Anquan Boldin. Derrick Mason could be the slot receiver for Baltimore in 2011.
