'The end of the day, my son has his own journey. And it is his journey, not my journey. For him to do the things that are best for him is what we teach all of our children,' the NFL's all-time leading rusher said.
E.J. Smith has embraced learning and studying football from his father, Emmitt Smith, who is the NFL's all-time leading in rushing yards. E.J., a senior at Jesuit Prep in Dallas, went on national TV Wednesday morning on the early National Signing Day to announce where he would attend college and play football.The younger Smith sat next to his mother and father with five college ballcaps in front of them—the five schools of which E.J. had it narrowed from numerous offers.
E.J., the No. 96 overall high school prospect in the ESPN 300, thanked his family, God, his school, coaches and teachers for having opportunities, then made his declaration. "I loved all these schools that have given me the opportunity to come and play football at their school, but I saw that Stanford was the best opportunity for me," E.J. said.
But before he commented, Emmitt grabbed the Florida hat and placed it upon his own head, saying,"I'm going to take this, and I'm going to wear this hat.
