Timmy Smith, a former Washington Redskins running back who helped beat the Broncos in Super Bowl XXII in 1988, was sentenced Friday to 30 months in federal prison for dealing cocaine.
Smith, 42, also was ordered to pay $88,000 in unpaid child support.
Chief U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock ordered Smith, who is out on bail, to report to prison July 10.
Federal agents arrested Smith and his brother, Christopher Smith, last year after 20 ounces of cocaine worth $13,600 was handed off to an undercover agent in Greenwood Village.
Drug Enforcement Administration agents had recorded several drug deals involving the Smith brothers, according to court documents.
Smith was accused of working with his brother in selling cocaine to an informant eight times in 2005, according to a federal arrest affidavit.
In all, the Smith brothers were accused of selling nearly 1,318 grams of cocaine for a total of $31,150.
Both were charged with possession and distribution of cocaine.
But according to negotiated plea agreements, each pleaded guilty to a single drug charge and the other charges were dropped.
Earlier this month, Christopher Smith was sentenced to five years' probation for aiding and abetting in distributing cocaine.
Smith, who was working at a Denver juvenile detention facility at the time of his arrest, set an NFL record in 1988 for the most rushing yards in a Super Bowl - 204 - in Washington's 42-10 victory over the Broncos.
