Too Small, Too Slow... Then He Broke the NFL's Biggest Record | Emmitt Smith

18,355 rushing yards. 164 rushing touchdowns. Three Super Bowl rings. No running back in NFL history has run for more yards than Emmitt Smith — and the experts once said he was too small and too slow to make it at all. From 8,804 yards at Escambia High School in Pensacola, to 58 school records at the University of Florida, to the 17th pick of the 1990 draft, to the separated-shoulder game at the Giants, three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys, and the night he passed Walter Payton — this is the story of the running back nobody could stop.
