The Baltimore Ravens traded for inside linebacker Roquan Smith from the Chicago Bears prior to the 2022 trade deadline. They gave up multiple draft picks and a player to do so, signaling their trust that Smith can at least help their defense for the remainder of this year, and potentially far beyond.
Smith made his Baltimore debut in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football”, finishing with five tackles. Following the contest, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh discussed what he saw from the two-time All-Pro, mentioning how other players on the defense fed off of his energy.
