Marvel Amos Smith (born August 6, 1978) is an American football offensive tackle who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Smith attended Arizona State University, where he was an All-American first-team selection in 1999, having only allowed one sack all season. He was picked in the second round (38th overall) by Pittsburgh in the 2000 NFL Draft. He was selected to represent the AFC in the 2005 Pro Bowl for the first time. Smith is considered by many to be one of the most important players on the Steelers' offensive line. Unfortunately, back injuries hampered him at the end of last year and his performance for this upcoming year is questionable.
[edit] High School Years
Smith attended Skyline High School in Oakland, California and was a student and a letterman in football. In football, he was a two-time All-City selection.
