An active linebacker, Smith was born July 3, 1965 in Statesville, NC, Smith was a standout for Statesville High School before graduating to East Carolina University. Undrafted, Smith started out with the Atlanta Falcons in 1989, and played with the Pittsburgh Steelers before landing with the Dallas Cowboys in 1990. A special teams star, Smith replaced an injured Ken Norton, Jr., in the playoffs and won game MVP honors against the Falcons on the trail towards the Cowboys' Super Bowl victory in 1992.
