NFL world reacts to Alex Smith playing in first game since 2018

Washington Football Team QB Alex Smith against the Rams

The Washington Football Team’s decision to bench starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins for Kyle Allen leading up to their Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams was not too much of a surprise. Haskins has been terrible as a sophomore.

However, it was surprising to see Alex Smith take over as Washington’s No. 2 quarterback. The former Super Bowl signal caller was active Sunday for the first time since he suffered a terrible leg injury back on Nov. 18 of 2018. It’s an injury that required 17 different surgeries and almost cost Smith his life.

Allen went down to a head injury in the first half of Sunday’s game. Enter into the equation Mr. Smith. He entered a game for the first time in nearly two years. It was a sight to behold.

From life-threatening injury to playing in an actual football game. This shows us just how tough Smith is. Now 15 years removed from being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, Smith’s career has come full circle. What an amazing story.

Obviously, the NFL world also had its reactions.
