We have another retirement to look at as Jonathan Stewart has just announced his departure from playing professional football.  He signed a one-day contract with the Carolina Panthers allowing him to sign with the team that drafted him.

Stewart was drafted by Carolina 13^thoverall in 2008 out of Oregon and he had a good rookie season with 836 Yards with 10 Touchdowns.  He matched his TD total in 2009 and would have a career high 1,113 Yards in 2010.  While Stewart was often sharing the load, he was consistent for the Panthers and over his ten seasons there he would accumulate 7,318 Rushing Yards with another 1,295 Yards coming by way of the air.   Stewart was named to the Pro Bowl in 2015.  He finished his career playing for the New York Giants last season.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Jonathan Stewart the best in post-playing career.  

Steve Smith is considered one of the most talented offensive players in the history of the Carolina Panthers. In seven seasons as a Panther, he managed to achieve over 1,000 yards in Receiving Yards. Smith's best season was in 2005, when he won the Wide Receiver's "Triple Crown" by leading the NFL in Receptions, Receiving Yards, and Receiving Touchdowns.

Smith was a dynamic receiver with a fearless approach to route-running. He was not afraid to take on anyone, using his lightning speed to beat defenders and gain serious yards after a catch on underneath routes.

After finishing his pro career with three seasons as a Baltimore Raven, Smith accrued another 1,000-yard season. Statistically, he should get serious consideration, having finished his career 7th in All-Purpose Yards and Receiving Yards. Additionally, his five Pro Bowls and two First Team All-Pro Selections are impressive accolades.
