Description

Darrin Andrew Smith (born April 15, 1970) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) who played for the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints. While with Dallas he won two Super Bowl rings. At different times in his pro career he has played all three linebacker positions. Smith played college football at the University of Miami where he was also won two national championships.


Smith was selected in the second round of the 1993 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, becoming a starter at weakside linebacker and being named to the NFL All-rookie team after registering 93 tackles. He was one of the fastest linebackers in the league, extremely quick and versatile.


In 1995 Smith was a restricted free agent and the team gave him a one year qualifying offer instead of a long term deal, so he sat out the first 7 games in a contract dispute, in order to avoid injury and be more marketable in free agency. He signed and played in the nine games that were needed for his contract to not be voided for that season. In 1996, he signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys.


Smith started all four of his seasons with the Cowboys, and had two 100-tackle years, including 117 tackles in 1996. He helped the Cowboys win Super Bowl XXVIII and Super Bowl XXX.
