The all-time University of Arkansas NFL team features a pair of Smiths and an Alworth

Billy Ray Smith was one heck of a soccer participant – All-America at Arkansas and each a Professional Bowler and Tremendous Bowl champion within the NFL.

The stat line is spectacular — 23 NFL seasons, 97 profession sacks, 16 fumble recoveries, 15 interceptions.

If that sounds a bit a lot for one participant, it’s. There have been two Billy Ray Smiths, father and son, and each maintain down spots on the all-time College of Arkansas NFL crew. The above stat line is a mixture of their careers.

Billy Ray Smith Sr., was a defensive deal with who performed 13 NFL seasons and received a Tremendous Bowl with the Baltimore Colts. He went to 2 Professional Bowls and picked up 70 profession sacks, 16 fumbles recoveries and an interception.

Billy Ray Smith Jr., was a two-time All-America linebacker at Arkansas who performed 10 NFL seasons with the San Diego Chargers. He collected 27 sacks, 15 interceptions and 14 fumble recoveries. He’s a member of the School Soccer Corridor of Fame and in addition was chosen to San Diego’s fiftieth anniversary crew.

The Smiths are joined on the Razorbacks’ all-time NFL crew by three Corridor of Famers – Lance Alworth, Dan Hampton and Steve Atwater. However the power of this crew may very well be on the sideline.

Arkansas has produced a Corridor of Fame NFL proprietor (Jerry Jones) and two Tremendous Bowl-winning coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. Jimmy Johnson is enshrined in each the Professional Soccer and the School Soccer Halls of Fame and Barry Switzer joins him within the School Soccer Corridor of Fame. As well as, Arkansas produced Pink Hickey, who launched the shotgun formation to the NFL again in 1960.
