Steve Smith (NFL) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Smith was taken in the third round (74th overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft. |
 | | He spent the season primarily as a kick and punt returner, and led all rookies in net yardage with 1,994 yards, which was good enough for fourth in the league behind Priest Holmes, Marshall Faulk, and Derrick Mason. |
 | | The Panthers did not get a chance to defend their NFC title the following season, however, as Smith suffered a broken leg in the season opener against the Green Bay Packers, and was one of fourteen players on injured reserve during the 2004 NFL season. |
