Roquan Smith might be having the best week of his life.
The Ravens inside linebacker was named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press for the first time in his career Friday, the sixth straight day in which Smith has enjoyed some personal or team accomplishment.
On Sunday, he tied a season high with 16 tackles in the Ravens’ 27-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished the regular season with a career-high 169 tackles, third most in the NFL, along with 4 1/2 sacks and 11 tackles for loss.
On Monday, his alma mater, Georgia, repeated as College Football Playoff champion with a 65-7 shellacking of Texas Christian.
On Tuesday, he agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract extension with the Ravens, the biggest-ever deal for an off-ball linebacker in NFL history.
On Wednesday, he was named the team’s Most Valuable Player, an award voted on by local media who cover the team.
On Thursday, he was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for December/January for the first time in his career.
And on Friday, he followed up back-to-back second-team All-Pro honors from the AP, earned during his third and fourth seasons with the Chicago Bears, with first-team honors.
“Thankful for everyone that has helped me be in this position that I’m in, like making my dreams come true and living it out,” Smith said Wednesday. “It’s an amazing feeling, and I feel like I’m just getting started. I just want to continue to do my best, and just keep getting better year in and year out to bring many championships here.”
Ravens kicker Justin Tucker earned second-team All-Pro honors after going 37-for-43 (86.0%) on field goal attempts and 31-for-32 on extra-point attempts. Tucker, the most accurate kicker in NFL history, is a five-time first-team All-Pro.
Long snapper Nick Moore was also named second-team All-Pro in his second year as a starter.
