Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith said he believes he's "better off" for having overcome a devastating compound leg fracture in 2018 that threatened his life.
Smith spoke about his recovery in a video on the team's website (3:04 mark):
"We all face adversity in life. It comes in different forms. Was I going to talk about it or be about it? ... However this comes out, I'm going to be better off for it. I continue to make gains. I continue to get better, even in these last few weeks.
