We had an opportunity to sit down and talk with Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith and the first thing we wanted to know was his take on the Cowboys run game. Here's what he had to say about it, and the state of the NFL running back in 2013.

The road to all-time greatness forks rather early in a young man's lifetime. Players gifted with "it" normally shine relatively early, starring from Pop Warner through high school athletics. There are always going to be late-bloomers, sure. For the most part, though, one can see the special in a kid's talents and know that if given the opportunity, greatness could be right around the corner.
I'm sure that's how it was for the folks in Emmitt Smith's community in Pensacola, Florida; for those that had the opportunity to watch him grow. By the time he made it to Escambia High School and won a state championship, and rushed for over 8,800 yards in a four-year career, his legend was already being cemented. Of course, the career that followed at the University of Florida and then with the Dallas Cowboys wasn't too shabby either.
