Former NFL star home to film show about his life
Jason Blakeney • jblakeney@pnj.com • June 4, 2010
As the Escambia High School band played its fight song, Smith — a former Gator and soon-to-be Hall of Famer — made his way toward ESPN's Rick Reilly.
With a few hugs and several gator chomps along the way, the NFL's all-time leading rusher walked Thursday through a tunnel of Escambia cheerleaders and the school's JROTC to his seat on the set of "Homecoming with Rick Reilly."
Hundreds of fans filled the Escambia High gymnasium and watched as Smith's entire career was chronicled.
The two-hour program will air on ESPN on Aug. 5, only two days before the former Dallas Cowboys star is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
"I look at (being inducted into the Hall of Fame) as an opportunity to thank so many people who have been inspirational in my life," Smith said. "A lot of it began right here in this city. This city has blessed me tremendously with the foundation I have."
Many of those Smith wanted to thank were in the room Thursday. From his parents, to former Escambia High coach Dwight Thomas, to 26 of his former high school teammates, everyone got a chance to share in Smith's moment.
"He's the toughest kid I've ever coached," Thomas told the audience. "I've coached a lot of bigger, faster and stronger (players) but none as tough."
The former Florida Gators running back became emotional at several points during the program.
Teared rolled down his face as he talked about the importance of Walter Payton during his career and when he watched a replay of the play during which he broke the NFL career rushing record.
Smith became the most moved when given an opportunity to address his former high school teammates.
"You all know who I am," Smith said after taking several moments to wipe tears and catch his breath. "You all know where I come from. ... People come into our lives all the time. Sometimes they come to take, sometimes they come to give. Knowing that you guys are here, I don't ever have to worry about you taking, because you've already given me so much."
Those who could not attend — including his wife Pat, who cannot travel because she is pregnant — joined the show via satellite.
Former Cowboys wide receiver and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin said his place in Canton will not be complete until Smith joins him.
"It can't be a Hall (of Fame) without Emmitt Smith," Irvin said. "He's the NFL's all-time leading rusher. And it's not just who he is on the field. He's a hall of famer off the field, too."
Former Cowboys fullback Darryl Johnston also joined the show on the giant video screen. Johnston blocked for Smith for 10 seasons in Dallas.
Reilly asked Smith if he'd be able to recognized Johnston's rear end after following him through so many holes in the opponents' defenses.
"Anywhere, anywhere," Smith joked. "He's got the greatest butt in the world except for my wife."
It was a celebration of Smith's career — a career that started on sandy football fields in Pensacola and carried him to NFL stardom.
"This is my home right here," Smith said. "This is where I come from."
