About Emmitt Smith
Oh man, Emmitt Smith, now there's a legend for you. This Cowboys running back was absolutely incredible to watch, so shifty and elusive that he could slip out of any tackle situation. I remember that amazing 85-yard run he had against Arizona back in '93, just spinning away from defenders and powering through for one of the longest plays of his career. He doesn't have traditional rookie cards since he came up before the modern card era really took off, but his early cards from the early 90s are still highly sought after by collectors. Look for his cards in good condition since they're from that era when card quality wasn't quite what it is today, and any autographed versions will command serious premiums.
So agile he could little his way out of a telephone booth, Smith used his shifty skill set to turn in the longest play of his career in Week 11 of 1993, the star running back took a handoff in the second quarter, spun out of one tackle, powered through two others and took off for an 85-yard gain against the Cardinals.

Dad’s Take on Emmitt Smith
Look at this guy posing like he's running through molasses – where's the urgency, Emmitt? You'd think a Hall of Famer with all those playoff records would show a little more hustle in his card photo, but no, he's out here looking like he's jogging to the mailbox. At least tuck that football away properly instead of carrying it like a loaf of bread from the grocery store!
