Bradley "Brad" Alexander Smith (born December 12, 1983) is an American football wide receiver and kickoff returner who is currently a free agent. He was drafted in the 4th round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. He played college football at Missouri.
After being redshirted in 2001 he became the four-year starter (never missing a start) for the Missouri Tigers. His sophomore year he established himself as a quarterback in college football becoming only the second player in Division 1-A football history to ever pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000. He received numerous national and Big 12 Conference freshman honors, leading the Tigers to a 5-7 record. His sophomore year he led Missouri to an 8-5 record and their first bowl game since 1998. In 2004 the Tigers went a disappointing 5-6 after beginning the season ranked number 17 by the Associated Press. His senior year he led the Tigers to a 7-5 record and his second Independence Bowl in three years and the first Missouri bowl victory in 7 years.
Smith was working on his graduate degree in Economics at Missouri upon being drafted. He received his business degree from Missouri in May 2005.
Smith has set numerous Missouri, Big 12, and Division 1-A records. In his junior season, he was considered a preseason Heisman candidate by many, but Missouri and Smith did not live up to expectations, achieving only a 5-6 record.
Smith excelled in the classroom, and has been named to the Big 12 All-Academic Team. He participated in the Mike Jones Football Clinic, Chancellor's Lunch, Big Brothers and Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake, Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Food Drive, Truman Club and Athletes-in-Action, among others.
