Alex Smith's Road To Recovery Captured In Graphic Video

Alex Smith of the Washington Redskins suffered one of the nastier leg injuries you'll ever see.

I can feel for Smith. Just like him, I suffered a broken tibia and fibula in a sports accident back in the day. Only difference is I broke mine while playing basketball.


Smith also had a tougher road to recovery. I only had to have some tendons lengthened, which took three surgeries.

The Redskins QB had 17 surgeries. Smith teamed up with ESPN and E:60 to document his recovery. The images of his leg are tough to see.

This is really tough for me to watch, but I can only applaud Smith on his road back to normalcy.
