He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame

“Sent my family to the pro bowl. We appreciate that.” 🥶❄️

*Even his retirement letter was petty 😂😂😂*

How do you not love this guy? He always came off as so cocky and prideful, but he’s actually incredibly self aware, and genuine. Love this guy.

Steve Smith played wide receiver like a linebacker. Just looking for problems and fearless. A true Legend.

Steve Smith was a great receiver who backed up his talk everytime.

Steve Smith put fear in DBs every game. He has the speed, route running, hands, concentration but more importantly the competitive drive to elevate his game. He was a joy to watch for years!!

I've been a carolina panthers fan my entire life. I've never seen anyone play with the tenacity and toughness he did. He was fearless and for a long time, he was the best player we ever had. In my opinion the greatest panther ever greatest receiver of that Era.

“IF YOU SEE THIS FACE THAT MEANS I SCORED”

I think what’s impressive is how consistently he showed up in the playoff opportunities he had. I’m a bears fan and I still remember how he destroyed us.

A 5’9 wideout whose as tough as nails that shoves defenders to show his speed and explosion

This is A Iconic Quote from a iconic player "ICE UP SON" 🤣🤣

Absolute Legend. Man NEEDS to be a First Ballot Hall of Famer.

Steve was/is one of the most tenacious players to ever lace up a pair of cleats. He embodied the old saying its not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog and Steve was a dog for sure. Absolutely legendary

Steve Smith was my personal favorite receiver of this era because of that Panthers playoff run and he was so quick an fast and played like he was 6'8

Steve Smith is one of the most under rated WR ever!

Steve Smith is such a great guy. A true leader with the utmost class. He really hits it off with his teammates

One of the toughest WR ever. Moose & Smitty were a lethal combo🔥Really wish they got that 💍

I was introduced to the Carolina Panthers in 2001 and saw Steve Smith Sr catch a football for the first time and never looked back. I have the utmost respect for him as a player, father and husband. His intensity on the field has been unmatched since he retired. I was there for the ring of honor induction and cried like a child when I saw him in that Carolina 89 jersey. I am beyond blessed to have seen him in his prime and equally blessed to see him come home to Charlotte. Congratulations Steve on all your accomplishments.

This was an awesome short for Steve Smith . he truly was the greatest player to play for Carolina no debate

Steve Smith and Hines Ward are the grittiest wide receivers I’ve personally ever seen. They exemplify hard work, dedication, and intensity on the field. Most of all, you regularly can find examples of them contributing in the run game in ways other receivers either can’t or don’t.

This guy was only a Raven for a few years but he is easily one of my favorite Ravens ever. Dude gave it his all EVERY play. Smitty is a beast...and who can forget that revenge game against the Panthers lol

As a kid growing up in Charlotte NC and becoming aware of sports in the 2000s The Delhomme-Smith connection was one of the greatest things to witness. They were heroes for a place that was somewhere in between a big town and a small city that didn't have many nationally recognized faces; I will always fondly think back on that mid 2000s panthers squad as the greatest to suit up (no disrespect to Cam and his incredible years)

Steve's 5 foot 9, his attitude was crucial to survive in the NFL at his size

Born in 93’ I grew watching Steve Smith, straight dog. Definitely a Hall of Famer. I’m was happy to hear him speak on Ocho, like it’s crazy they played Juco together.

He needs to be in the NFL hall of fame already. He deserves. Definitely 1 of the best wide receivers of all time

Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith was such an underrated connection

you had to see him play to fully respect the man's ability! amazing player and will always be one of my favorites

Bro I literally spent like 3 hours yesterday watching Steve highlights and the stuff he's been in this timing is wildly perfect for me lmao

Thanks for the video NFL Throwback! Steve Smith was one of the greatest, toughest, and most underrated wide receivers to play in this league. I absolutely loved his menace-like personality and how he got into it with DB’s after numerous plays throughout his career.

He brought a new toughness to the game!

Bruhhh his kids saying “well you know what dad? Ice up son” 😂😂

One of my favorite players growing up loved watching him play

I like his mentality.. he is a hard worker got better each season his early years. very inspiring

He’s the definition of love and passion for the game. He was undersized and just played with so much heart

Glad he was part of my football life growing up! The greatest.

1 of the meanest, absolute monsters that ever played the game. The guy had more heart & courage than every other player on the field. A junkyard dog! Legend!!!

He was so dangerous in ‘05…..and that Carolina defense with J Peppers they were a force to be reckoned with. I remember he shredded that Bears defense that was in the top tier defense that year.

By far and away one of my most favorite WR' to watch play. He put on a clinic everytime he hit the field. True LEGEND

"if you see this face again... that means i... scored... again" 🤣

GENUINELY don't know of a receiver who was more of a *DAWG* than Steve Smith. He even called out Anqan Boldin & Megatron....I'd throw Andre Johnson and Prime Dez Bryant in that convo too. But IMO, Steve Smith is THE biggest dawg at the WR position in the last 20 years. LOVED watching him play (I'm a cowboys fan btw)

WHY IS THIS MAN NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!!

There will never be another receiver like the great Steve smith dude had so much fire and passion not only for the game but to prove he belonged at the pinnacle of the game. The tenacity of this dude is unmatched and will go down in history as one of the most electric plates of all time and one of my personal favorites of all time.

The 5'9 Randy Moss lol. I saw some catches where he reached over the corner to catch some passes while covered.

Imagine Jerry Juedy thinking he can disrespect Steve Smith.

If I’m walking down a dark alley Steve Smith is def the guy I want by my side no cap 😂

His intensity/mentality during performance is exactly what's missing in major American Sports.

Smith Sr's got to be one of the greatest receivers pro football has ever had ! Amazing !

He will always be my favorite player of all time. An absolute LEGEND. If he had a decent QB, he’d be top 5.

Greatest Panther ever right there. Dude was always raw with it. Dude was special to watch

Oh MAN. Imagine you’re thinking about retiring, and coach sends you your scouting report. That’s some fucking fuel right there. Keep going.

Steve Smith. There's nothing much you can say. His numbers, productivity, despite his size, speak for themselves. Always will be my favorite athlete. Hopefully one day, I'll get to meet him. Get him to sign my Panthers jersey. I actually cried when we cut him, and celebrated when we fired Gettlemen. Football changed for me.. Still don't get that same feeling I used to get whenever I saw him take the field in that Panthers uniform. Man. I even turned down some wild times, just to make sure I caught that game.. Steve Smith. There will never be another person like him.

Watching Steve Smith as a kid was everything. Then going out playing youth league trying to do everything I just seen lol 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Albeit it was for 3 years, but I enjoyed watching him when he was with my Ravens.

Legend, last of a kind. Wasn’t a panthers or ravens fan but a huge 89 fan, God bless brother.

Won the triple crown at 5’9 on a team that ran the ball almost 70% of the time so when it was a pass the whole world knew it was going to Steve and he still dominated 2005 I believed he was the best player in the world playing return too he could score from wherever whenever lead the panthers to the nfc championship that’s goat 🐐 material and was consistent through out his whole career image what he would have done with a Drew brees or Peyton manning in a pass heavy offense?!?!? Numbers would have been even more insane best player I ever played with on madden he was the best wr and return man if you know you know certified legend💯💯💯

What a football player. One of my favorites

To anyone who think Cooper Kupp's triple crown year last year was amazing while he was surrounded with alot of other great talents at WR with a great QB in a pass happy offense, imagine winning it with no other decent WRs with an average QB on a run first team. Steve Smith did that. One of the best to ever do it.

“So You was right, BUT you was wrong because you lined up against ME” HARD 😭💯

Trash talker who backed up every word. This dude was a beast. One of the greatest ever IMO.

Steve Smith is one of the top 5 wide receivers of all time, the guy has clutch athleticism he was just on a whole nother level

I worked for the Panthers as a Digital Media Intern so I saw him up close and personal. When I tell you he is the most intense player I have ever seen in any sport. Hands down HOF

Steve Smith deserves all honors of The NFL league in his position. He balled out!❤

wont be another like him steve smith is one of one. total legend

one of my 10 favorite athletes ever

"If You See This Face Again, That Means I Just Scored AGAIN!!!!!" Lol 05 Smith Was A Problem

One of my favorite wide receivers growing up. Loved his swagger, tenacity, and competitiveness.

"Ice up son" maybe the most iconic trash talk line in NFL history

Only had this man a short time in Baltimore but I can imagine the Damage he and Lamar would do sheesh

Steve smith is a Dawg! Much respect and hopefully see him in the HOF

As an NC native and a lifelong panthers fan i gotta say hes a legend, noone left it on the field quite like him

That agent wasn’t ready to lose his best client 🤣

He's edgy but that's what made him special. He had that 'dog' mentality from his first to his last game. Like him or not, Agent 89 deserves to be called to the hall.

Love this!! He put a hurting on my teams but I am a FAN of this man! Incredible talent...

“He sent me and my family to the Pro Bowl so we appreciate that.”😂 Ice cold🥶

Die hard Falcons fan but I loved Steve Smith. Being not the biggest guy on the football team made me model my mindset like him.

That was highly entertaining. I enjoyed watching his new show so I had to take the time machine back and watch some of these awesome highlights. What a player!

One of if not the greatest Panther we ever had! I really wish we could have had more time to see what him and Cam could have fully developed into. That would have made for some exciting football! I've always wondered what the 2015 dream team would have been like if we also still had Steve Smith at that time. I feel it would have been a fully undefeated year! A man can dream!!

Man forgot how much I missed this dude. Truly an old school player that can play in any era. Salute Steve Smith Sr.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Surely Steve Smith is overdue a yellow jacket!! That man has earned it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I BEEN WAITING ON THIS. If you don’t think Steve freakin smith is a HOF you crazy!

Absolutely loving the Steve Smith content! What a guy

He was a 4.3 guy with a 40 inch vertical. He maximized all of his potential. If I building a team I want him lined up next to t.o

This is one of the better throwbacks I’ve seen so far 👏🏼 Smith is an absolute DOG 💪🏼

As a Patriots fan I can honestly say that Steve Smith is one of my favorite players ever to watch play. And is in my top 10 all-time favorite Wide Receivers list. Which is why I create him for my Patriots in madden. and when he got released by the panthers, I was really hoping he would have come to the Patriots and catch passes from Tom Brady, but he signed with Baltimore instead, which was disappointing, but he did what was best for him and his family as he noted in his A Football Life episode. Nevertheless, one of my favorites. and a future Hall of Famer.

Easily the best Panther ever, and a true icon of my hometown team

The dog in him, is like no other best WIDEOUT HANDS DOWN💯

One of my favorite WRs of all time. This man doesn’t get enough love, and that’s coming from a Falcons fan since ‘99

One of my favorite players of all time absolute Dawg!!!

Underrated WR when we all talk about the all time great WR's. I'll take him on my team for a fact!

I'm a simple man. I see Steve Smith content. I watch.

Exactly what sports needs more of, love this guy.

Favorite WR of all time.

Hope he doesn't have to wait forever to reach the HOF. He was a deadly kick/punt returner as well

Steve Smith is my all time favorite WR.

As a lifelong Cowboys fan (I'm 56 as I type) and I have the utmost respect for Steve Smith...a grind it out, tough, physical player who gave 100 percent every second he was on the field. He was a beast!!

Great video, do some more defensive players, they deserve love too

I'm a saints fan. We had to play this dude twice a year. I'm very familiar with sr. What I'm about to reference is against all teams not just the saints. Most of his career he was the only player on the offense that was a threat. Due to this he was constantly double and triple covered and he always got around 10 catches and a touchdown or 2 almost every game. Especially when the game was on the line. Doing all of it at like 5' 10". If he's not a first ballot hof then idk who is!

Just about my favorite Panthers player growing up. I was kinda mad when he got ejected from the 2005 NFC Championship game against the Seahawks when he had contact with one of the referees which was basically a tap on the shoulder. But still, he was one of those guys I looked to to save the game. That guy was awesome 😤🤩

He was electric ⚡️ it was a pleasure watching him in person thru my childhood. The entire crowd fed off him. I also went to the Green Bay game in 04 where he broke his leg. I was devastated 😢
