Emmitt Smith
Emmitt James Smith III (born May 15, 1969) is a former college and professional American football running back who became the National Football League's (NFL) all-time leading rusher during his fifteen seasons in the league during the 1990s and 2000s. Smith grew up in Pensacola, Florida and became the 2nd leading rusher in American high school football history while playing for Escambia High School. Smith then attended the University of Florida, where he set numerous school rushing records over a three-year college career with the Florida Gators. After being named a unanimous All-American in 1989, Smith chose to forgo his senior year of eligibility and play professionally. The Dallas Cowboys selected Smith in the first round of the 1990 NFL draft. During his long professional career, he became the NFL's all-time rushing leader, breaking the record formerly held by Walter Payton, and played for three Super Bowl-winning Dallas Cowboys teams. Smith is the only running back to ever win a Super Bowl championship, the NFL Most Valuable Player award, the NFL rushing crown, and the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award all in the same season (1993). He is also one of four running backs to lead the NFL in rushing three or more consecutive seasons, joining Steve Van Buren, Jim Brown and Earl Campbell. Smith led the league in rushing and won the Super Bowl in the same year three times (1992, 1993, and 1995) when to that point it had never been done. Smith is also one of only two non-kickers in NFL history to score more than 1,000 career points (the other being Jerry Rice
Balance – the key to success. I show balance in my personal life when I put my family in their proper place which is #1.
Never let others define you. You define yourself.
We had a collective goal, mental toughness, and trust as a team.
"I've given everything I can possible to the game, on and off the field.
I'm very confident I'm one of the best to ever play the game, but once you talk about the greatest, how can you define greatest?
It's been a tremendous ride. My 15 years, my 15 minutes of fame, is up.
Always, through my whole life, I've had a thirst for knowledge.
Every time fans turned on the television or watched the Dallas Cowboys, I wanted to give them the performance of a lifetime.
For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.
Consistency shows value. It breeds trust. You know that I'm going to show up every week.
The way you perform make them feel about you different.
As my offense get better, my defense is goin be that much more better.
The one thing that derail a team is a thing called the injury bugs.
The loss tonight... And the loss today is gonna hurt for a long time.
Don't quit. Don't ever quit.
Let's not judge the Giants until we're in the bottom half of the season... The bottom half of the schedule get much tougher.
I'm concerned about a guy who fall down before get hits.
I love those style of play that the Tennessee Titans bring to the game.
All those things messes with the mentality of your ball club.
