Of all the skill positions in football, running back carries with it the highest rewards, and the greatest risks. For every Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, or Tony Dorsett, there's a Terrell Davis, a Billy Sims, or a Shaun Alexander; great runners forced into premature retirement due to injury, or whose spectacular skills had suddenly deteriorated from the unrelenting punishment. A select few runners have managed to get on top and stay there, none more so than NFL all-time leading rusher, Emmitt Smith. Taken by the Dallas Cowboys with the 17th pick of the 1990 NFL Draft, Smith joined a franchise that had built a dynasty in the 1970’s, only to see it crumble in the 80's, and hit rock bottom, with a 1-15 record in 1989. Building through the draft around Smith and young quarterback Troy Aikman, the Cowboys returned to their elite perch, winning six NFC East titles, three Conference Championships, and three Super Bowls in the 1990's, with Emmitt Smith leading the league in rushing four times. Proudly offered is this rare, game-used throwback jersey, worn by Emmitt Smith during the 1994 Dallas Cowboys season. The Apex Authentic Apparel label and size 44 flag is stitched onto the bottom left tail, with numbers, stars, and "E. SMITH" nameplate tackle twill stitched onto the front, back, and sleeves. The jersey is all original and shows light wear indicative of a one-game issue. The "NFL 75" diamond patch is sewn onto the front left side to commemorate the NFL's diamond anniversary. This is an amazing opportunity to obtain and extremely rare game-used jersey of the NFL’s #1 all-time rusher! LOA from Mile High Card Co.
