Smith arrived in Calgary in 1990. Pee Wee as he was affectionately known became an instant crowd favourite with his speed and returner ability. In 1991, Smith's role in the Calgary offence expanded as he caught 36 passes for 467 yards. The 1991 season was highlighted by Smith's dramatic last second 67 yards touchdown reception from Danny Barrett in the Western Final versus Edmonton. The catch sealed the victory for Calgary and propelled the Stampeders into the Grey Cup versus the powerhouse Toronto Argonauts. It was the Stampeders first trip to the Grey Cup in 20 years. Calgary would fall to Rocket Ismail and the Argonauts in 1991 but Pee wee continued to be a vital part of the Stampeders in 1992 with the arrival of quarterback Doug Flutie. The Stampeders would not be denied a 2nd time and captured the 1992 Grey Cup in Toronto's Skydome with a victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Into 1994 and 1995, Smith's role in the offence continued to expand as he posted over 800 receiving yards both seasons. Injuries would begin to hamper Smith and in by the end of 1995 he was on the shelf as Calgary was defeated by Baltimore in the 1995 Grey Cup. Injuries would bring an end to his career, over 6 seasons 'Pee Wee' brought great excitement to the Stampeders faithful and he was an important part of one of the most potent offences the league has ever seen. The jersey worn by Smith in his final season with the Stampeders has the Starter, size tags (Long 42) and year set tag (95) on the lower hem and the Stampeders 50th patch on the breast. Jersey exhibits nice game wear with numerous marks on the shoulders and other areas of the jersey.
