10-24-22: Greatest football comebacks: Alex Smith

from SAX IN THE MORNING · host Steve Sax

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.I have talked about a lot about great stories in baseball where players have come back from harrowing circumstances, but given football season is in full swing I thought I’d highlight some of the greatest personal comebacks from that great sport. There are so many to choose from because, frankly, anyone who plays for 8-10 years in the NFL survives a lot of pain and setbacks. Today I highlight Alex Smith who not only bounced back from being pushed out of the starting quarterback job on multiple teams and then suffered a terrible broken leg in 2018. After surgery he developed an infection in the leg that spread through his bloodstream. He had to endure 16 more surgeries to save his leg and his life yet he came back for one more year and led the Redskins to the playoffs. Visit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here   Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
