Emmitt Smith’s penchant for posting incredible numbers began in high school, where he put up 2,424 rushing yards as a sophomore, 2,915 more as a junior and finished with 8,804 yards total. At the time that was the state record. In college Smith set 58 new records at Florida. Smith saved his greatest work for the highest level, though. In the NFL he ran for 18,355 yards, still the most in league history. He also scored 175 total touchdowns, made eight Pro Bowl teams, earned four All-Pro honors and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
