Timeline

Smith died in Flower Mound, Texas, in 2002 at age 76.

Smith spent the remainder of his football career with the Lions, remaining through the 1954 season and playing on NFL championship teams in 1952 and 1953. During the Lions’ 1952 championship season, Smith recorded nine interceptions (third best in the NFL) and 184 interception return yards (third in the NFL). In addition to playing in the Lions’ defensive backfield, he handled punting duties from 1950 to 1953. His 2,729 punting yards in 1952 ranked sixth in the NFL, and his average that year of 44.7 yards per punt was second best in the league. After the 1952 season, Smith was selected as a first-team All Pro player by the United Press and a second-team All Pro by the Associated Press. He was also invited to play in the 1953 Pro Bowl.

In July 1949, Smith signed with the Chicago Hornets of the AAFC. He appeared in three games with the Hornets during their 1949 season.

Shortly before the start of the 1949 NFL season, the Detroit Lions acquired NFL rights to Smith from the Redskins. Smith signed with the Lions, left the Hornets, and appeared in all 12 games with the Lions during the 1949 season. In his first NFL season, he ranked among the league leaders with nine interceptions (fourth) and 218 interception return yards (third). On Thanksgiving Day 1949, he set an NFL record with a 102-yard return after intercepting a Sid Luckman pass in the end zone during a 28-7 loss to the Chicago Bears. Smith’s interception return against the Bears remains the Lions record for longest interception return.

Smith was selected by the Washington Redskins in the 24th round (217th overall pick) of the 1947 NFL Draft. He did not sign with the Redskins, instead opting in January 1948 to sign with the Buffalo Bills of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), reportedly for $8,500.
