Torrey Smith 'Motivated' by Missing First NFL Game

You’d have to go back to Torrey Smith’s junior season at Stafford Senior High School in Falmouth, Va., to find the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver injured on the sideline during one of his football games.

Smith’s broken leg kept him out of action for a brief period of time. He went on to be a dependable contributor at the University of Maryland, the Baltimore Ravens and now with the 49ers.

The streak of good health, however, changed in Week 11 when Smith’s injured shoulder forced him to be inactive for the first time in his six-year NFL career.
