Smith has proven to be durable, starting 62 of 64 games played in his career. He has not missed a game since he was drafted.
The 6-foot-1 speedster has recorded 213 receptions, 3,591 yards and 30 receiving touchdowns to start his career.
Smith posted a career-best 11 touchdowns in 2014, despite tying a career-low 49 receptions on the year.
He helped lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory in 2012 when Baltimore defeated San Francisco. His fellow wideout that year was current 49ers receiver Anquan Boldin.
