Sammie Lee Smith (born May 16, 1967) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles and was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the first round of the 1989 NFL Draft with the ninth overall pick.[1][2] Smith played in four NFL seasons from 1989 to 1992 for the Dolphins and Denver Broncos.[3]
Smith has had numerous legal problems since leaving professional football. In 1996, he was convicted of two counts of possession and distribution of cocaine,[3] and spent seven years in prison as a result.[2] He won restoration of his civil rights from the State of Florida in June 2010.[2]
In 2013, he was inducted into the Florida State Athletics Hall of Fame.[4][5]
