The NFL takes a multi week break this time of year, allowing players to pretty much do what they please with their time off. While this means that some will inevitably get into trouble, it can be pretty interesting to see what they do.  After all, players are people like us who take vacations and spend time with their families. Maybe their vacations are a little nicer than ours, but you get the point.

Sarah Ellison over at the Raven’s official site is shedding light on how some of the Raven’s players are spending their time this summer.  Refreshingly at least two guys are working out, including Steve Smith and Eugene Monroe.  Smith is spending time at D1 Sports Training in Charlotte, and Monroe is getting in his two-a-days at the Under Armour Performance Center.
