Steve Smith ends season with 73-yard day
Steve Smith - WR - Carolina Panthers
Dec. 30, 2012 - 5:30 PM ET
Steve Smith caught three passes for 73 yards in the Panthers' Week 17 win over the Saints.
Despite an early-season sophomore slump from Cam Newton, Smith was his usual productive self. He finishes with 73 catches for 1,174 yards and four touchdowns, marking the seventh 1000-yard season of his career. Smith will turn 34 in May, but he's still a bargain for the Panthers at $3.75 million in 2013 base salary. We've seen very few signs of decline in speed or explosiveness.
