Alex Smith has a few scars from one of the most unlikely comebacks ever.
But has anyone actually seen what his leg looks like since he came back?from an ad featuring Smith for the shoe company Oofos, you can get a peek at his surgically-altered leg — and still looks gruesome.
After suffering a spiral and compound fracture to his tibia and fibula in his right leg, Smith developed an infection called necrotizing fasciitis that caused sepsis. He was forced to undergo 17 different surgeries, and at one point, doctors told Smith that amputating the leg could be his only option.
Despite that daunting news, Smith made it back to the league in one of the more miraculous comeback stories in recent memory. He led the Washington Commanders to a playoff berth in 2020 and was named Comeback Player of the Year.
