A letter to Alex Smith after ESPN’s ‘Project 11’ documentary

If you ever end up reading this, I hope that this letter finds you well and in good health. I, along with many other Redskins fans, media members, and worldwide sports enthusiasts just saw the ESPN documentary “Project 11” about your recovery from the gruesome leg injury you suffered against the Houston Texans.

And let me tell you, I left awestruck in the strength and perseverance of both you and your family.

On the fateful day of Nov. 18, 2018, we all witnessed your injury. And we knew it was terrible right from the start.
