Alex Smith is hoping that he can re-establish a winning connection with an old yet new teammate in Washington.
The former Utah quarterback who was traded to the Redskins this offseason is reunited with tight end Vernon Davis, who's been with Washington since 2016.
The pair played together in San Francisco for six seasons, and according to ESPN, Smith threw 30 touchdown passes to Davis during their time as 49ers teammates, 19 more than Smith threw to any other San Francisco player.
“There’s a lot of instances where I don’t feel like we skipped a beat,” Smith told ESPN.
