It was little more than a year ago that Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith went down on a fateful Sunday in November, watching as his career path changed course. His team was currently in the lead of the NFC East with a clear path to the 2018 playoffs, should nothing drastic change.
Then the hit happened, and his life changed forever.
Alex Smith suffered a gruesome leg injury that would eventually threaten his football career, and the continued existence of his lower extremity. After breaking both the tibia and fibula bones in his right leg, Smith has been confined to the sideline, working as hard as he can to get back to the NFL and continue his football career.
There is not much public optimism that it can happen, but ESPN has announced an E60 documentary that details the path he has gone through over the past year and change.
The documentary will air on May 1st, on ESPN, and we will all be able to tune in and see the type of hard work and dedication that Smith has given to his recovery, hoping to reach the level of health that will allow him to step back on the football field.
After watching him go down in 2018, it will be incredibly moving to watch him build himself back up in front of our eyes.
