- Best RB of his time career cut short because he risked his body to win. Nothing but a winner, unlike his contemporary OJ Simpson -- who would not block or catch a pass.
- Smith the best TE of the era. Perfect route, slippery, fast, caught anything near him, even if he had been knocked upside down.
We were lucky to see them with the Redskins.

I looked, but can't find much that shows Jerry Smith. This clip, however, shows the three great ones -- Mitchell, Taylor, and Smith -- and closes with shots of the day the Redskins scored 72 points against the NY Giants: "the day the sky rained footballs".
There has always been a dispute about the last three points the Skins scored that day. As best I remember, the Redskins called time-out and had their kicker, Charlie Gogolak, kick a field goal with about a second remaining. ("Gogo", incidentally, was the Redskins first soccer-style kicker, and brother of another soccer-style kicker, Pete Gogolak...just a bit of irrelevant trivia.)
The story I believe is that Sam Huff demanded that the Skins call time out. Huff was still furious that the Giants had traded him, and he wanted to stab three points deeper into the Mara family heart.
Anyway, here is a clip in a series about great groups of receivers.
Notice the comment (from Dan Daly?): Jerry Smith held the record for TDs by a tight end for about twenty years, and never gets a vote for the Hall of Fame?
I think Smith and Brown should both the elected.
