He just caught another for 20 or so yards.

He’s rolling tonight. Looks about two biscuits short of 335.

Between Lee Smith and Cody Slate I never would have thought Lee would be the one in the NFL for 10+ years. Very happy for him and his career that just keeps going.

Sorry 9 years but still very impressive to last that long in the League.

Especially given the direction the Tight End position has went in the League.

And he’s making $3MM a year.

He was always the better pro prospect because of his size. Slate was a big WR playing TE and didn’t have the frame to be 255-260 most “pass catching” TEs play at and didn’t have the speed to play WR after his HS knee injury.

I always liked Lee's work ethic and thought he was underutilized at MU. A lot of times I felt he was the best player on the field. I remember a game, probably his senior year, when we were driving late in the 4th quarter to take the lead. Lee was playing huge like give me the ball and let’s win this thing. I think Anderson hit him 4 straight times for 8-10 gains and I'm thinking keep doing it until they prove they can stop it. Then we throw the ball downfield on the next play for an INT. Game over...☹ Anyone else remember that?

He came back to speak at a Boys and Girls Club fundraiser a few years ago. He could definitely be an asset to the program going forward.
