It is always a little sad to see the great ones move on from their football lives. Emmitt Smith was one of the great ones. And he is one of the rare people who also made the people around him better players, and better people.
He will be remembered for many things. I will always remember watching him play a playoff game against the Giants with a separated(?) shoulder. It was a heroic performance!
Emmitt Smith is a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. He helped carry an entire team to not just a Super Bowl victory, but to an entire dynasty.
My top 5 backs of all time:
Jim Brown
Walter Payton
Emmitt Smith
Barry Sanders
Terrell Davis
I expect a lot of disagreement with number 5, but the point is that Emmitt Smith retires as one of the 3 best running backs in history.
