J. Meric/Getty Images(OWINGS MILLS, Md.) — After completing his 14th NFL season, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith plans to come back next season. He’ll be 36 years old.
In his first season in Baltimore, Smith proved he can still be a number on receiver as he led the team in receptions (79) and receiving yards (1,065). It was the most receiving yards in a single season by a player 35 or older since Rod Smith had 1,105 yards in 2005.
“It was a GREAT season this old man played for you and my teammates,” Smith said in post on Instagram. “I’ve enjoyed every moment and couldn’t have asked for a better fan base. Look forward to a better season next year and watch us go WIN IT ALL.”
On Saturday, Smith became the 13th player in NFL history with 1,000 career receiving yards in the playoffs.
After 13 seasons with the Carolina Panthers, the team let Smith go despite being the best receiver in team history.
