Emmitt Smith advocates for a great wall of protection to help run out the clock on the coronavirus pandemic

For years, running back Emmitt Smith wore down opposing defenses as he helped the Dallas Cowboys win three Super Bowls in the '90s. Over 15 seasons in the NFL, the Hall of Fame running back churned out a total 18,355 rushing yards, ending his career as the league's all-time leading rusher. A record that still holds true today. The star running back ran behind a powerful offensive line that helped obliterate the opponent, so he knows the importance of working together for a common goal. Back then, it was Lombardi trophies and historical milestones, but now Smith sets his sights on eradicating a different opposition - the coronavirus.
