Emmitt Smith is a former American football player. He played for the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals and is the NFL's all-time rushing leader, a record formerly held by his childhood hero, Walter Payton. He is the only running back to ever win a Super Bowl championship, the NFL Most Valuable Player award, the NFL rushing crown, and the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award all in the same season (1993). He is also one of four running backs to lead the NFL in rushing three or more consecutive seasons, joining Steve Van Buren, Jim Brown, and Earl Campbell. While playing for the Cowboys, Smith, Troy Aikman, and Michael Irvin were the "Triplets" who led their team to three Super Bowl championships during the 1990s.

Born May 15, 1969, his primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Earth Rooster. The candid Rooster will tell you what is on their mind. Furthermore, it will be easily understood because of the acute expressiveness of both his words and his non verbal communication. He has a wry sense of humor meaning it has a clever and often ironically or grimly humorous quality about it. He is great at doing projects thanks to his outstanding organizational skills. He goes about his work in the most efficient manner, aided by his keen eye for detail. The Earth Rooster is much less flamboyant than the rest of the species, but that is more than made up for by their exceptional practicality, reliability and attention to detail. He is a builder who builds to last. He leads by example and often bury himself in his work. As with most Roosters, he can be a biting critic. And, with his keen powers of observation and organized methodology, his will find lots to criticize.
