Description

Anthony Wootton is joined by Les Carpenter, sports reporter for the Washington Post, to talk about Alex Smith. The quarterback almost died after a serious leg break in 2018, but on Sunday he defied the odds and found himself back on the gridiron and even withstood a sack by the mighty Aaron Donald. Les talks about Smith's incredible journey from hospital bed to football field and reveals, through conversations with the QB's wife, Elizabeth, why he was so determined to play again when he could easily have walked away from the game with millions of dollars already in the bank.
