Taken in the 2015 CFL Draft by the Edmonton Eskimos (now the Elks), Blair Smith contributed to a Grey Cup Championship that same year. He played with Edmonton through 2020, serving as special teams captain in 2017 and 2018, and signed with Saskatchewan in 2021 but never played a down for the Roughriders.
Blair's college career was split between StFX and New Mexico Military Institute, where he played defensive back, and Angelo State University, where he made the permanent move into the box.
