Who is Jimmy Smith?

Jimmy Smith is the greatest wide receiver in Jacksonville Jaguars history. He wore No. 82 for the Jaguars from their first season in 1995 through 2005, made five straight Pro Bowls, and retired as the franchise leader in receptions (862) and receiving yards (12,287), records he still holds. The Jaguars inducted him into the Pride of the Jaguars in 2016.

Early life and Jackson State

Smith was born February 9, 1969, in Detroit, Michigan, and played high school football at Callaway High School in Jackson, Mississippi. He stayed in Jackson for college, playing at Jackson State from 1987 to 1991 and earning a business administration degree.

A long road to Jacksonville

The Dallas Cowboys drafted him in the second round, 36th overall, in 1992. A broken fibula in training camp and then complications after an appendectomy, which cost him the entire 1993 season, kept him off the field. Dallas let him go in 1994, and the Philadelphia Eagles cut him before that season began. On February 28, 1995, he signed with the brand-new Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars' No. 82

Smith became a starter in 1996 and spent the next decade as the centerpiece of the Jaguars' passing game. In 1999 he led the NFL with 116 catches for 1,636 yards, both still single-season franchise records, as Jacksonville went 14–2. In 2000 he put up 291 receiving yards in one game against Baltimore, one of the biggest days by a receiver in NFL history. He made the Pro Bowl five years running, for the 1997 through 2001 seasons, and added 40 catches, 647 yards and 7 touchdowns in 11 playoff games.

He announced his retirement on May 11, 2006, with 862 receptions, 12,287 yards and 67 touchdowns, every one of them as a Jaguar.

Still part of Duval

Smith runs the Jimmy Smith Foundation and remains one of the most popular figures in Jacksonville. He has held autograph signings at Sports Mania in October and December 2025, and keeps signing for our customers at the store.
