You know what I just thought of? He said in the beginning he works hard on his analysis, cause he sees lazy analysis as a waste of time. He brings that same mentality to the podcast that he brought to the practice field,and in game. Cool to see Steve still being himself,and still being great.

Ahhh yes the legend Steve Smith Jr, he got the DAWG in him 😤

[@shadowstyleb]

His son probably does but he is Steve Smith Sr.

[@barbaraGobert31]

The proverbial "dog" basically STARTED with him in modern times. At least as we know it...never been a panthers fan,lifelong saints fan,so I saw my fair share of Steve over the years! I can remember time after time,the secondary trying to hold it together against him,and it's a tie game or we're winning and Steve has like 2 catches for 13 yards...then he catches some 50 yard bomb he basically MUGS the DB to get his hands on,and he winds up with like 4 catches for 80+ yards before its over with,and many times it was his touchdowns,that beat us. He played the WR position much like an old school bell cow RB. It's the drip...drip...drip of short passes (like the run,run,run up the middle for 3 yards of a RB)then the *WHOOSH* of a flash flood,on a play you thought you had defended well against. Just like the great ones at RB, Steve actually got stronger as the game went on, and I've never seen him gassed,not once in the decade we played against him. Quite a singular talent. Another guy the scouts got wrong lol, 3rd rounder,who was a hall of fame guy.

[@julienforletta7896]

Man, I loved this guy so much . I started playing fantasy in 2003-2004. He was my favorite player. I played hs football and was a small wr but I played like a dawg. Steve smith was my inspiration

[@DeadSezSo]

As a panther fan, I am one of the biggest and most unapologetic steve smith fans. I strongly believe, at the time of his retirement, he was pound for pound a top 10 receiver of all time. I think some of these young guys will eventually have to placed above him but the man won a triple crown with jake delhomme as his qb in a league that had Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison, Torry Holt, Ochocinco, Larry Fitzgerald and more. He never played with an elite passer but hes still one of the most productive receivers of all time. But even more than that, the eye test doesnt lie. Yeah, he was 5'9 but he was still elite at jump balls and contested catches and prime steve smith with ball in his hands is as good as any receiver in nfl history at YAC. He could make you miss, he could break tackles and he could find the right angles to get as many yards as possible. Elite in every way.

[@jaymeaux8957]

Just can’t wait to see what JSN and Zay do on the outside. I think they are going to be way better than people think. Especially JSN, he did all his work at 19, after 2 years of doing nothing but working at his craft I think he’s primed to go crazy.

That's the strange thing about this WR class,most the wrs have "slot bodies" , yet alot of these customary "slot guys" in this draft actually gives you SOMETHING on the outside, which is unusual. I think all can several can outside outside off of motion or even line up out there occasionally. Downs,JSN,Flowers,Mims, all look toe like they could play outside a little.

Imagine being in his division...and having to watch him and WHATEVER QB carve you up twice a year! I've been a saints fan since 1990 when I was 10 years old,and saw my fair share of Steve. A true "great one". Imagine watching him and your former 3rd string QB streak to a superbowl game while your team never made an appearance 🤔!?

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

​@@JWNimbleI don't know about that, but he's definitely the reason why Carolina took Mingo in the 2nd round. Tepper, the owner, told Mingo that Steve Smith called before Carolina was due to pick in the 2nd round and told him to take Mingo. The rest is history. Mingo was definitely a WR that stood out to me.
