Alex Smith is an American former quarterback who played sixteen seasons in the National Football League. Selected first overall by the San Francisco 49ers in 2005 after starring at Utah, he led them to the NFC Championship Game in 2011 before a concussion cost him his starting job to Colin Kaepernick. Traded to the Kansas City Chiefs, he guided them to four playoff runs between 2013 and 2017 and led the league in passer rating in 2017, then moved to Washington in 2018. A life-threatening leg injury in his first Washington season nearly led to amputation, yet he returned in 2020 and was named Comeback Player of the Year, a recovery widely counted among the great comeback stories in league history.
