Lee Smith is the type of player that every team dreams of having, seriously. He is an absolute warrior on the field, and gives 110 percent every snap of every game. Once a relative unknown out of Marshall (Go Herd!) and fifth-round draft selection of the New England Patriots, Smith has come a long way.
Smith was cut by the Pats before the 2011 NFL season even started, but was claimed on waivers by the Buffalo Bills the next day. It was in Buffalo that Smith really got his start, and put himself on the Raiders map. Originally, Smith was really only a blocking tight end.
