In the 90's I ran a sporting apparel store.

Thanks. I was having a brain cramp on who "J Smith" was.

He was K-State's first big star under Bill Snyder. I think he was just a practice squad or IR scrub with the Chiefs. Might have returned a kickoff or two for the Chiefs.

I remembered him once you wrote the name. I just didn't think he was around enough for multiple jersey styles to be for sale so his name didn't come up when I was trying to remember who "J Smith" was. The the K State connection makes sense, though.

Just looked it up - he spent all 16 games of 1995 inactive and then tore his ACL in an off-season workout and never played again. That would be a pretty obscure jersey to have now.

Ah, the bad old days where ACL tears were career-enders.
