After three preseason games, wide receiver Devin Smith is leading the team in receptions and receiving yards. His story reminds me of another wide receiver the Dallas Cowboys drafted who had the same last name.
In 1992, the Dallas Cowboys drafted wide receiver Jimmy Smith 36th overall in the second round. With the 37th pick in the draft, Dallas selected safety Darren Woodson, who is Hall of Fame worthy but that is a story for another time.
Jimmy Smith played seven games for the Cowboys in 1992 earning a Super Bowl ring and then missed the 1993 season due to complications from appendicitis.
