Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith pays tribute to long-serving teammate Jordan Gross, who announced his retirement yesterday.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has paid tribute to his long-time teammate Jordan Gross, who announced his retirement on Tuesday.

Smith and Gross have been together with the Panthers since the latter was drafted in 2003, while they also played in the same college team before both made it into the NFL.

Gross has now decided to end his 11-year career with the team having made a record 167 starts, and Smith was quick to show his appreciation for the left tackle.

The Panthers are likely to dip into free agency or the Draft in an attempt to replace Gross during the off-season.
