On Sunday night, Steve Smith returns to Baltimore as the band’s conductor

Former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. made a rare return to M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday night, this time in a different role.

According to Ravens writer Matt Ryan, the NFL legend took on the task of conducting the official band of the Baltimore Marching Ravens as part of his new series, “Most Interesting Jobs in the NFL with Steve Smith,” ahead of the game against the Buffalo Bills. Dressed in full Marching Ravens gear, Smith stood at the podium and directed the band as they played the Ravens fight song, giving fans a glimpse of his vibrant personality and versatility.

Smith, once a standout for both the Ravens and Carolina Panthers, took on a number of odd jobs at NFL stadiums as part of his program. These roles included behind-the-scenes tasks such as running the camera for NFL Films on a trip back to Carolina, where he spent most of his career. The idea of ​​the series is to showcase the different, sometimes lesser-known roles that make NFL game days special, all while adding Smith’s signature humor and energy.

The full episode detailing Smith’s experiences in Baltimore will air on NFL platforms on October 28. His return to M&T Bank Stadium, even in this unconventional role, was a special moment for Ravens fans who fondly remember his time as a dominant force on the field. Now fans can see a different side of the former wide receiver as he continues to entertain in a new way.
