Dallis Kevin Smith (born July 31, 1965) is a former American football safety who played for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Valdosta State University.[1] [2]

After not being selected in the 1987 NFL draft, Smith signed with the Seahawks.[3] Prior to the start of the 1987 NFL season, he was waived in mid-August.[4] Due to that season's player strike, Smith was signed by the Seahawks as a replacement player,[5] making the team's roster for their October 4 game against the Miami Dolphins.[6] Some sources indicate he played in, and started, three games for the 1987 Seahawks.[7]

Smith played high school football at Westover Comprehensive High School in Albany, Georgia.[1] As of 2004, he was coaching high school basketball there,[8] a position he still held in 2013.[9]
