BALTIMORE — Cornerback Jimmy Smith retired as a member of the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, concluding an 11-year professional career.
The cornerback played exclusively for the Ravens after being a first-round draft pick from the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) in 2011.
Smith finishes his career with 374 tackles, 74 passes defended, 14 interceptions and three touchdowns.
Smith will forever be remembered in Baltimore for a fourth-down goal-line stand in Super Bowl XLVII that preserved the Ravens' victory against the San Francisco 49ers.
Smith, 34, said he's ready to spend more time with his kids.
"I've got three boys and now a girl," Smith said. "With the boys, they're old enough I can start getting them into sports. They're getting active. I've got time to figure out stuff long-term. I'm in no rush to get to work or anything."
