Dave Smith (born March 23, 1937) is a former American collegiate and professional football player. A fullback, he played collegiately for Ripon College and professionally from 1960 through 1964 for the American Football League's Houston Oilers, where he was a member of the AFL's first two Championship teams, in 1960 and 1961. He was selected by the Sporting News as the first All-AFL fullback in 1960. The league did not play an All-Star game that first year, but Smith's 154 carries for 643 yards and 5 touchdowns earned him a berth on the All-League Team. Smith has been a scout for the Buffalo Bills from 1992 until the present (2007).
