Chase Young sent a cool tweet about Alex Smith after Sunday’s game.
Smith on Sunday played in his first NFL game in nearly two years. The Washington quarterback returned from a spiral leg fracture that required recovery from multiple surgeries. After Kyle Allen got hurt in Washington's 30-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Smith came on as the backup.
Young knows how far Smith has come and showed his appreciation afterward.
Smith has earned tons of respect among his teammates and from those around the league.
Smith went 9-fo-17 for 37 yards and had one rush for a yard. He didn’t do damage in the game, but just being back on the field again probably helped him overcome a mental hurdle.
As for Washington’s future at quarterback, head coach Ron Rivera shared what his plan is.
