#45 – Otis Smith, CB Not many players play for both teams of a rivalry. Smith did so twice. From 1995-2002, Smith played with the Jets, Patriots, went back to the Jets, and then came back to New England. In his first stint with the Patriots, Smith was a part of a team that went to the Super Bowl, and played a key role in winning the AFC title game with a fumble recovery for a touchdown. He was also a part of the Super Bowl Champion Patriots in 2001. In the Super Bowl against the Rams, he once again stepped up to the stage with an interception that set up a field goal for the Pats. Smith spent four years of his 13 year career in New England. In that time span, he picked off ten passes and had two defensive touchdowns. His ten interceptions ranks 27th in Patriots history while his two defensive touchdowns ranks tenth. Follow @SamPericolo for the latest on sam-pericolo.weebly.com
