I could watch Smitty's highlights all day. Dude was such a beast for an average sized guy.

Average sized?  I'll admit that for NFL standards Smith was definitely not what id label your prototypical player but calling him average sized is a stretch. I mean I am 5-9 - 5'10 myself and even at the height of what I would consider my biggest build ( I lifted pretty serious for about 3-4 years ), I was still probably 10-15lbs of muscle off from Smith.  Dudes calves were about the size of watermelons.

Smitty was always accused of smuggling cinder blocks in his socks.  Dudes leg muscles were intense.  Little bastard could jump through the roof.

Probably should have used "smaller by NFL standards" than "average sized". But I agree, the dude was built like a house of freaking bricks. His muscle strength is probably one of the best reasons he could jump higher than opposing DBs.

I figured thats what you met...sorry didn't mean to split hairs or anything.  Back when I used to lift regularly, my arms and shoulders got huge ( my best attribute ).  People used to stop me all the time and ask about my diet / how I lifted...etc.  I am more or less 5' 9" and probably topped out weight around that time was 175lbs with 10-12% body fat.  People def didn't consider me average size for a regular person.  Compared to some massive body builder I was of course a little guy or even an NFL player.
