Have you ever wondered how rich Emmitt Smith is? According to sources, it is estimated that Emmitt`s overall net worth is $18 million, an amount acquired through his successful football career, however, after retirement, he entered the real estate business, which has also benefited his net worth.

Emmitt`s professional career began when he was selected by the Dallas Cowboys from the 17^th position in the 1990 NFL Draft. From the time he first entered the field, the Cowboys knew that they hadn’t made a wrong decision by drafting Emmitt, as he proved to be a real deal. In his first season, he won the NFL Offensive Rookie Of The Year award, rushing for more than 1000 yards. He continued in the same fashion for the next 10 seasons, and with 2001 season’s 1021 rushing yards, he became the first player to have more than 1000 yards in 11 consecutive seasons. Smith stayed in Dallas, for 12 seasons, and became one of the most successful players in the history of the franchise; he had eight Pro-Bowl appearances, 1990-1995 and 1998 and 1999. He won three Championship rings with the Dallas Cowboys, in 1993, 1994 and 1996, and was named the MVP of the 1993 Super Bowl.

• Smith almost didn’t become a Dallas Cowboy. Dallas had already traded for speedy running back Terrance Flagler, and then-coach Jimmy Johnson wanted to use Dallas’ first-round pick that season (acquired from Minnesota in the Herschel Walker trade) to draft a defensive back. However, both backs Johnson wanted were taken before Dallas picked. Johnson, reminded that Smith was still available on the board, expressed a reluctance for several reasons: Smith was short, slow and always carried the ball in his left hand (making him more susceptible to costly fumbles since running backs often switch hands depending on where they’re running). But one of Dallas’ scouts, who’d observed Smith at Escambia High School and at the University of Florida, said this to Johnson: “This kid broke every high school rushing record in the state of Florida. He can block, catch passes and I’ve never seen him caught from behind. You HAVE to take him”. Smith was drafted by Dallas, and the rest is history.
