“I was blessed to have a long and productive playing career on the field, but now it’s time to turn my attention to the business of covering the game, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining the team at NFL Network,” Smith said in a statement Thursday. “As the only network with a 100 percent focus on the sport I love, I was drawn to NFL Network and look forward to joining a team made up of many legends of the game.”
