Ravens player Jimmy Smith says family robbed at gunpoint

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith said he and his family were robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night after leaving Los Angeles International Airport. Smith, 32, called it one of the scariest moments of his life.

“Just a very scary situation and a reminder that people are really hungry and will do anything in this pandemic. Be careful and always watch your surroundings,” Smith wrote in a Facebook post on Friday.

Smith said three men followed his family to the hotel, located nearly 40 miles from the airport. The Ravens organization spoke with Smith and said he and his family were unharmed.

“We are aware of the situation involving Jimmy Smith. We have spoken with Jimmy, and he and his family are safe,” the statement said.

Smith, who played football at the University of Colorado, has spent his entire professional career with the Ravens since they drafted him with the 27th pick overall in 2011.
