Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Chris Wesseling framed it, "Known in fantasy football circles as 'the other Steve Smith,'" the 2007 second-rounder never regained his pre-injury explosiveness and sharp cutting ability after undergoing microfracture knee surgery and a mosaicplasty procedure late in the 2010 season. Smith bounced around the league with the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Tampa Buccaneers over the past two years, managing just 25 receptions for 255 years. There was no new injury that led Smith to retirement. He simply can't play at the level necessary anymore and realized it was best to walk away.
