Former Carolina Panthers wide receiver is now officially eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but should the wide receiver go in on his first ballot in 2022?
The time has finally come for Steve Smith to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame discussion. The former Carolina Panthers wide receiver is now an eligible candidate in 2022 after this year’s star-studded class that included Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson, and Charles Woodson was announced. So there will be speculation between now and this time next year as to whether he is worthy of a first-ballot induction.
