Mizzou great Justin Smith named an SEC legend
The SEC named its new class of football legends today. Missouri’s representative: Justin Smith.
There’s pretty good reason for this. In Smith’s three years in uniform, Mizzou only lost twice to SEC foes (Texas A&M in 1998 and 1999). He was by far the most talented player on those teams. Ergo, SEC legend.
Hey, go with it.
After a dominant freshman campaign, he certainly didn't become complacent. Smith was a first-team All-Big 12 player in 1999 and 2000, a first-team All-American in 2000, and the fourth overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft. While that is all very impressive, his rankings on the all time Mizzou lists are almost as mind blowing.
