The only restriction to be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is that a player and coach must have been retired at least five years before he can be considered. Emmitt Smith retired on Feb 3rd 2005. I believe he will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
yes

He last played in 2007 and will only be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2013.

Five years. As an example, both Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith retired after the 2004 season. The five seasons they waited before being eligible for election to the Hall were 2005-2009. Both are eligible beginning with the 2010 elections and, most certainly, both will be elected in 2010.
Apparently not. "Emmitt Smith Jr." (b. 1946?) is the father of retired NFL star Emmitt Smith III (born May 15, 1969). The elder Smith was present in February, 2010 for the announcement of his son's coming induction into the NFL Hall of Fame (August 2010).
Listen to the first words in his 2010 Football Hall of Fame induction speak. Emmitt thanked his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ first. That answers this question. Emmitt is a Christian and a believer in the one and only God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
No. A player is not eligible for the Hall of Fame until five years after he retires.
