BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Dexter Moody never used the word “dream.”
Not when talking about his ascent into the NFL, or his recent three-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens or his arrival at the pinnacle of the football world.
Instead, all he talked about was work.
“It’s not just about coming out and playing football anymore,” he said. “It’s about knowing where you need to be, and it takes a lot of studying. You actually need to know the game.
“At this level, everybody is as good as you are. No one will give you anything. You have to earn everything you get at this level.”
In a recent phone interview with The Herald, the former star Albany State University safety and Ravens rookie said he likes his chances of earning a spot on the team’s 53-man roster this fall. Moody went untouched in the NFL Draft in early May, but in a matter of days he accepted a 3-year, $1.53 million contract with the Ravens — and some in the Baltimore media think Moody could even be fighting for a starting safety spot this season.
