Local Players on the Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith will play his first Super Bowl Sunday, and his former Stafford High School offensive line coach and defensive coordinator will be watching from Va.  Read the story here.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor joined the Baltimore Ravens in 2011 after playing for the Denver Broncos. Taylor attended Virginia Tech and went to high school at Hampton High School in Hampton. (See Taylor’s bio here.)

Locals on the San Francisco 49ers

Cam Johnson, a rookie linebacker, just moved to the San Francisco 49ers active roster in late December, so he has only played in two games this season. He went to Gonzaga College High School in Washington, DC and also attended the University of Virginia. (See Johnson’s bio here.)

Ahmad Brooks is yet another linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers. He had 50 tackles in 2011 and is on track to beat that this year. Before attending the University of Virginia, he attended C.D Hylton High School in Woodbridge and Hargrave Military Academy. (See Brooks’ bio here). He was born in Fairfax.
