Smith was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2009 and had 200 sacks over the course of his career to go 1,225 tackles and 43 forced fumbles. Manning is likely to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he becomes eligible in 2021 considering he is a five-time NFL MVP, has won two Super Bowls and holds six NFL records.
