Derron Smith

On April 5, 2019, Smith signed with the Minnesota Vikings. He was released during final roster cuts on August 31, 2019.

In October 2019, Smith was selected by the Dallas Renegades in the 2020 XFL Draft.

In December 2018, Smith signed with the San Antonio Commanders of the Alliance of American Football.

On November 4, 2017, Smith was released by the Bengals and was re-signed to the practice squad.

On November 9, 2017, Smith was signed by the Cleveland Browns off the Bengals practice squad. He was waived on August 31, 2018.

Smith was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Also an outstanding track & field athlete, Smith was one of the state's top long jumpers. At the 2010 CIF-SS Division 3 Meet, he posted the top-qualifying mark in the long jump at 7.13 meters (23 ft, 2 in), but he had his result stripped by the head official. Smith’s marks would have likely won the meet since the winner of the event posted marks lower than both of Smith’s efforts.

As a true freshman at Fresno State University in 2010, Smith played on special teams and as a backup safety. He finished the year with 28 tackles. As a sophomore in 2011, Smith played in only three games due to a broken arm and received a medical hardship waiver from the NCAA. He finished the season with 16 tackles and an interception. As a redshirt sophomore in 2012, Smith was a first team All-Mountain West selection after recording 79 tackles and six interceptions. As a junior in 2013, he was again a first team All-Mountain West selection after recording 87 tackles, eight interceptions and four sacks. Smith returned his senior season in 2014. He entered the season as the active FBS leader in interceptions with 14.
