As the NFL Draft makes headlines in Sin City, Emmitt Smith is offering his advice to the new class entering the major league.

"I would like to think that I've earned the right to be able to have the opportunities to talk to people about what I do and inspire people to a level of greatness. We talk about these kids now going into the draft this year... their message is overcoming. They have a lot to share with the world," Smith said.

The NFL legend is also feeding fans in Las Vegas with his upcoming restaurant, Emmitt's.

"I will say this... [it's] coming soon to Fashion Show Mall! We're looking at July/August timeframe. We'll get a full construction timeline and we'll move from there."

Until then, Smith is partnering with IHOP on their exciting new loyalty program, International Bank of Pancakes.

IHOP is opening the vault for guests to enroll in the program and start earning PanCoins at www.ihop.com/rewards. The PanCoin is a crypto pancake that lives in the IHOP mobile app and on IHOP.com.

Guests who sign up for an account will also receive free pancakes on their birthday, exclusive offers, rewards that stack up, secret menu offerings and the ability to Pay ‘N Go using their own devices from the mobile app.
