Smith is a former NFL running back who played League for fifteen seasons during the 1990s and 2000s. He is considered one of the greatest and the single most complete running back in NFL history. In 700 Club interview, Emmitt said he became a Christian at an early age, but it wasn’t the top priority in his life. His dream was to play for the Dallas Cowboys and to become the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. But throughout high school, he was told he didn’t have the size or the speed to make it in college, much less, the NFL, but that didn’t discourage him. “Well, I mean it, it bothered me to hear them discredit my ability,” says Emmitt. “I used it as fuel. I used it as motivation. I used it as something to keep me going and striving to continue to be successful. Because they didn't hold my destiny in their hands.” In 1987, despite the obstacles, Emmitt earned a scholarship to the University of Florida. Before he left his grandmother gave him a Bible verse that would help him face the challenges that lay ahead. “Proverbs 3 and 6,” remembers Emmitt. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path. Anytime I found myself in a situation, I would lean on that verse.” With that verse rooted in his mind, he silenced many of his critics by breaking over fifty records and becoming a top NFL prospect within three seasons. In 1990, he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys. To book Emmitt Smith for a speaking event or appearance, contact Christian Speakers 360.
