Ravens WR Marcus Smith Believes He'll Be 100% By Training Camp

Ravens wide receiver Marcus Smith believes the knee injury that ended his 2009 campaign before it even started will be 100 percent by training camp. Energized by two major additions to the receiving corps, with sights of first earning a special teams spot, Smith is doing everything he can to get back on the field as soon as possible. "I'm not cleared to sprint or anything, but I'm comfortable running," Smith said. "The strength is there, but it's sometimes sore after a long day of working out. Other than that, it's feeling really good. The lateral movement and explosion are the main things that I have to regain. I can't dunk a basketball yet, and I said I won't really be back until I can do that. It's come a long way over the last six weeks." Smith knows a rise up the depth chart won't be easy considering the arrival of Anquan Boldin and Donte' Stallworth, but he only worries about what he can do to get back on the field. "I think the Ravens are trying to win, it's that simple," said Smith. "I can't get mad at that. I think both Stallworth and Anquan Boldin will contribute to the Ravens and make us better. I really believe that. But at the same time, it's a direct challenge to me. Coming off an injury, I have to gain my spot back. I have to prove to myself and the team that I can come back better than ever. I've got five months until training camp, so my main goal is coming in to training camp in shape and even more fit than I was last year."

Favorite Teams:

He's good on special teams, has the body and the ability, i think as of right now he's the odds on favorite for the 5th WR spot because he's so good on special teams. Maybe having a guy like Boldin will help him, being a bigger, physical WR.
