VIDEO: Ravens' Timmy Jernigan sees snow for the first time

This season has been full of firsts for Baltimore Ravens rookie defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan, from his first NFL game to his first sack. 

On Wednesday, he experienced another first: snow. 

Jernigan, a native of Lake City, Fla., and former Florida State Seminole, had never seen snow before Wednesday afternoon. Once practice had wrapped up, he ventured outside to learn how to build a snowman. 

"I need some carrots, buttons, mittens," Jernigan told the team's official website. "All donations are welcome. I figure I'll get me a good (snowman) foundation and I'll finish it up after meetings."

But in the middle of his snowman-building workshop, Jernigan was called back inside by Ravens senior director of public relations, Chad Steele. Turns out, Jernigan's 4 p.m. meeting had been bumped up to 3:30 and he was late.

Hopefully the Ravens went easy on the rookie.
