Sean Lee Smith (born July 14, 1987) is a former American football cornerback. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders. He played college football at Utah.
Early years
Smith attended Blair High School in Pasadena, California, where he played football, basketball, and ran track. In football, he gained All-Conference, All-State, and All-American honors as a senior after rushing for over 1,500 yards with 18 touchdowns, helping lead Blair High School to its best record in 10 years. He also had 547 receiving yards and over 400 yards in kickoff returns.[1] In track & field, Smith competed in sprints. At the 2005 CIF-SS Division IV, he qualified for the state finals in the 100-meter dash (11.36 s) and the 200-meter dash (22.48 s), placing 13th and 7th respectively in the finals. In addition, he also ran a leg on the Blair 4 × 100 m relay squad.[2]
College career
Smith was redshirted for the 2005 season. During 2006, his redshirt freshman year, he played as a wide receiver for the first eleven games before moving to cornerback, he played in all 13 games ending with seven rushes for 63 yards (9.0 average) and one reception for 12 yards.
In 2007, he started in ten games for the Utes, nine at cornerback. He had four interceptions, which was the best for a single player in the Mountain West that year, and tied the Utah single-game record with four pass breakups against the New Mexico Lobos toward the end of the 2007 season.
In 2008, Smith started in all but one game for the Utes, finishing First-Team All-Mountain West defensive back. His five interceptions on the season were the most on the team and tied for first in the conference. Smith's best performance, though, may have come in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, where he had six tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a huge pass breakup in Utah's stunning 31-17 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Smith decided to forgo his senior year to enter the 2009 NFL Draft.[3]
Professional career
Smith entered the 2009 NFL Draft as a highly touted cornerback prospect that possessed one of the biggest frames ever seen for the position. He fell into the 99th percentile among cornerbacks for height and was among the 98th percentile in weight.[4]
