From high school to college to the pros, Emmitt Smith has excelled at every
level of football -- and accumulated a plethora of records and accolades along
the way. In his TK-year NFL career, the shifty yet muscular running back has won
three Super Bowl rings and is poised to become the game's all-time leading
rusher. Entering the 2002-3 season with 16,187 career rushing yards, Smith needs
just 540 yards to break Walter Payton's record. With the Cowboys superstar on
the verge of setting a new standard for running backs, CNNSI.com celebrates
Smith's career with a timeline and a selection of Sports Illustrated
flashbacks.
