Perhaps the lack of a Super Bowl victory is the only dent on Smith Sr’s illustrious career.
Smith, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time All-Pro, emerged as one of the NFL’s most productive wide receivers of the 21st century, leading the league in catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns in 2005.
He played for the Panthers for thirteen seasons before signing with the Ravens in March 2014.

In 2011, he became the 35th player in NFL history to amass 10,000 receiving yards.
He retired on January 2, 2017 and at the time of his retirement, he ranked:
- Seventh in NFL career all-purpose yards (19,180),
- Seventh in NFL career receiving yards (14,731),
- Twelfth in career receptions (1,031), and
- 25th in receiving touchdowns (81).
