Ravens' Torrey Smith's Brother Dies

Early Sunday morning, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith discovered that his brother, Tevin, had been killed in a motorcycle crash just hours before. Smith then drove to his home state, Virginia, to be with his family in this time of need. After returning home for a short while, Torrey made the decision to reunite with his team and participate in that night's game, which they won 31-30. Smith played the game for his late brother by scoring two touchdowns and completing 127 yards. Before the game started, a moment of silence was dedicated to Trevin, to which Torrey said, "That touched me right there, the fact that the organization took the time out to honor my brother, one of my family members, who had absolutely nothing to do with this program besides me." We can all learn a lesson or two from Torrey's story: to cherish the time you have with family and friends.
