Jimmy Smith Biography

Jimmy Smith is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on February 9, 1969 in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Former NFL receiver who set a number of Jacksonville Jaguars franchise records during his time with the team from 1995 to 2005. He became the team’s all-time leader in receptions (862), receiving yards (12,287) and receiving touchdowns (69), topping 1,000 receiving yards nine times throughout his career.

He teamed up with quarterback Mark Brunell on the Jaguars during the team’s inaugural 1995 season and the duo quickly brought an exciting offensive attack to a new fan base.

Jimmy Lee Smith Jr. (born February 9, 1969) is a former American football wide receiver in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars. He played college football at Jackson State University.

In 1993, he was leading the team in pre-season (13) and receiving yards (197), while competing for the role as the third wide receiver that was left open with the departure in free agency of Kelvin Martin, behind Irvin and Harper. On August 21, Smith began feeling a pain in his abdominal area and brought it to the attention of two trainers and the team doctor, J.D. Zamarano, and was given Pepto Bismol, Maalox, and Tagamet. He played in the next preseason game and caught a touchdown reception, and was waved back in by a coach after taking himself out from taking a hit to the abdominal area that worsened the pain. Over the next few days he repeatedly brought the pain to the attention of the trainers and wasn’t given adequate care or the correct diagnosis. He asked to be directed to a doctor and was told to see the team doctor who gave him a check up and took him to see the team surgeon that finally diagnosed him with appendicitis. On August 24, 1993, he underwent an emergency appendectomy surgery. The following day, he was released from the hospital by the surgeon although he had a 102.5 degree fever. On August 27, Smith was readmitted into the hospital after he woke up in severe pain with his stomach bloated and was vomiting, because of a severe post-surgical infection that was nearly fatal. He went into emergency surgery for an Ileostomy, where they dissect and removed his intestine then substituted an external bag to collect his fecal matter, forcing Smith to miss the entire season, including Super Bowl XXVIII. On October 2, the Cowboys placed him on the non-football illness list and opted not to pay his entire $350,000 salary for the 1993 season, as well as his insurance, pension, and free agent credits, making Smith instead an offer of $100,000 and no credits, which he declined. The NFL Player’s Association filed a grievance with the Cowboys on the behalf of Smith, alleging he was due his full salary, which he won after going through arbitration.

He had five children named Jimmy III, Jaden, Dyson, Jayse and Dalys with his wife Sandra.
