JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Jimmy Smith will serve 18 months of probation after pleading guilty to drug possession charges.


The former star said Wednesday after the hearing it was the next step in getting his life back together.


The charge stemmed from an April traffic stop in which Smith was found driving without a license and carrying cocaine and marijuana.



In July, he also pleaded no contest to further, unrelated charges of drug possession and drunken driving. He was placed then on probation for a year and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.


The 40-year-old Smith entered a voluntary drug rehabilitation program after the April arrest.

2-part question:


1. Is Jimmy Smith worthy of HoF consideration?


2. If so, how badly will this hurt his chances?

Lawrence Taylor and Michael Irvin are in the HOF along with plethora of hoodlums, Smith will not be affected by it.

Smith was a borderline HOFer before this Taylor and Irvin were not. He may get in but with the way the Hall treats WR's it will be a while

I did not say nor endorse Smith's candidacy, I simply assert that the HOF ballot will not be affected by his legal strife should he ever be nominated.

Otherwise OJ Simpson would be removed.

18 months sounds about right, that's what I received
