Roquan Smith is a tackling machine and one of the gold standards at the linebacker position in today’s version of the NFL.
An All-Pro and the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL, Smith recently sat down with a Ravens legend and arguably the best middle linebacker in NFL history, Ray Lewis.

Smith and Lewis connected at the 2023 NFL Pro Bowl, with the two stars planning to have multiple film sessions from time to time.
“I was like, ‘What?! This freaking kid!’ Lewis said. “Now when I’m watching him, I’m saying, ‘How can I help him get better?’ This offseason, we’re really going to sit down and go through film, so I can teach him little things.”
Lewis and Smith are the only two players in NFL history to have at least 100 tackles, two sacks, and one interception in each of their first five seasons, and Baltimore’s current middle linebacker already has 21 tackles, and one sack through two games.
