Steve Smith Sr. featured on "A Football Life"

Smith, originally a third-round draft pick who spent 13 years with Carolina, owns franchise records for catches (836), receiving yards (12,197) and touchdown receptions (63). He was released after the 2013 season and joined the Baltimore Ravens for what’s expected to be the final three years of his career.

Smith originally said he planned to retire following the 2015 season, but being taken off the field with a season-ending Achilles injury early in 2015 wasn't the way he wanted to go out, so he returned for the 2016 season.

Former Panthers teammates Jake Delhomme, Ricky Proehl and Jordan Gross are interviewed during the episode, which examines Smith’s intense on-field persona and his journey to becoming one of game’s most dynamic wide receivers.
