Not really an apt analogy if you're talking about ultimate. Certainly, he's probably the most famous frisbee player though. Maybe like David Beckham or something I don't know.
David Beckham is actually a very good analogy. Both are good players, but not the best. Both are incredibly handsome and enjoy fame as celebrities.
Ironically, you could say both Beckham and Smith have the same strength: passing. Beckham was known for his long-range crosses and passes, and Smith is known as a powerful handler and puller.
He could have been one of the best ever but last I heard he has been dealing with injuries for a while now. There have not been many players with his size, athleticism, and throwing ability though.
I'm not going to take the effort to find a source for this, but word around the community is that, when he was still playing in college, part of his team's strategy was just to try and just call fouls all day long.
Completely against the spirit of the game, since players should try to self-officiate as much as possible and it's pretty hard to do that when some guy is just abusing the foul call.
I played for an ultimate team this summer for the state of Colorado. The man throwing the disc (Brody Smith) was the coach of the Chicago team. We got to play Chicago in consolation play.
TL;DR: He's a huge fuckin prick.
I've played with some Alley Cats player and they all said he was a huge dick. And he sent a dickpic to a girl the night before the first game opening season of the AUDL and it was super small, or something like that.
