Kyle Long praises Justin Smith after he announces retirement

By Blair Sheade

Kyle Long lined up across from newly-retired 49ers defensive tackle Justin Smith enough to know how strong and dominant he was.

Long said he will honor Smith will a couple beers, which is fitting for the two lineman.

Smith might not have feared many players, but players definitely feared him.

Seven-year veteran defensive tackle Mike Golic, who retired in 1993, agrees with how powerful of a player Smith.

@Ky1eLong loved the way that man played the game
