This is honestly shocking to me. I can’t believe that Alex Smith has been cleared to play football again.
His broken leg was one of the worst injuries that I’ve ever seen in all of sports. The fact he is cleared to play again is nothing short of incredible.
Today Alex Smith turns 36.
This morning his wife, Elizabeth, shared a video of him training as he hopes to one day return to the NFL ????

Honestly, Smith should seriously consider just hanging it up. He’s 36-years-old, he’s made a ton of money and he suffered one of the worst broken legs that you’ll ever see.
What is the point of trying to play in the NFL again? There really isn’t one. He should just relax and retire.
There’s no purpose in potentially getting hurt again.
The fact he’s even healthy is a huge victory. He should be happy with that and call it a day.
