Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith spoke candidly with GQ Sports about his comeback from a gruesome leg injury in 2018, saying the team team seemed to prefer he didn't return to football.
Smith, who suffered a compound right leg fracture, was in danger of losing his leg at one point, making a return to football unlikely. According to Smith, Washington didn't think he would play again.
"When I decided to come back, I definitely threw a wrench in the team's plan," Smith said. "They didn't see it, didn't want me there, didn't want me to be a part of it, didn't want me to be on the team, the roster, didn't want to give me a chance.
