Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis didn't take long to welcome the newest member of his defensive backfield. Baltimore drafted Colorado cornerback Jimmy Smith in the first round of last week's NFL Draft. "He just told me I'm welcome here with open arms, and hopefully we can get together and talk and kind of just let me know, you know, that he's 'Ray-Ray,'" Smith said in his introductory press conference. "I'm just honored to be on a team with Ray and this defense." It's going to take a close relationship with veterans like Lewis to bring the rookies up to speed if the NFL continues the lockout this offseason. "I don't know if it was such a surprise because everyone knows this is his defense, so I think he'll have something to say," Smith added. "For me, it's just an honor. I'm just really happy that I'm playing for the Ravens. When you think about the Ravens, you think about defense. "Being a defensive player, I'm just really excited about it."
