Faith, family, football: Interviewing Sammie Smith

*This interview was conducted prior to coach Bobby Bowden's passing.

Florida State Hall of famer and first-round draft pick Sammie Smith has had an interesting journey through life and an interesting career overall.

Some would say he helped lay the foundation for FSU’s dynasty run starting in the late 80’s; he holds the seventh place on FSU's all-time rushing yards record, on a list littered with first-round talent.

We got a chance to talk with Sammie about his time at FSU, his time with coach Bowden, bowl games, mentorship, and a host of other things.
