LAS VEGAS (AFLWA) – Though quarterback Tony Graziani is Philadelphia's focal point, offensive specialist Steve Smith showed the Soul relies on more than just one person.

Because of Smith's production in a 59-48 victory over the Nashville Kats, he was chosen the Arena Football League Writers Association (AFLWA) Player of the Week.

Smith caught eight passes for 131 yards with two touchdowns, and returned a kick 49 yards for another score.

"Smith is probably the quickest guy in the league," Graziani told The Daily Times in Delaware County, Pa. "I just try to get the ball in his hands and let him make his moves. He did a good job of getting open."

Graziani reportedly is the league's highest-paid player, earning $750,000 over three years after signing a free-agent deal.

However, Smith was another big free-agent acquisition. He showed his explosiveness last season while returning five kicks for touchdowns for the Grand Rapids Rampage.

The AFLWA, founded at the start of the 2004 season, is a national organization made up of media members who cover the Arena Football League. Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal is the AFLWA's founder and executive director. The association's website is www.aflwa.com.
