Sammie Smith was a more powerful figure in Miami’s underworld than he was as a Dolphin on the gridiron. The Dolphins obtained the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Smith out of Florida State with the 9th choice in 1989. Smith, who gained 1,881 yards and 15 scores in 44 games as a Dolphin and Denver Bronco, spent seven years behind bars for possessing and distributing cocaine. The 51-year-old Smith, who was inducted into the Florida State Hall of Fame in September 2013, rebounded and he now serves as a mentor for troubled adolescents.
