Alex Smith Thinks He Has Room For Growth
4 years agoWashington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith, last year's Comeback Player of the Year, appeared in eight games (six starts) and completed 66.7 percent of his passes while going 5-1 after nearly losing his leg due to injury in 2018. Smith strained the calf in the same leg late in the season, but it was unrelated to his previous injury, and he sounds invigorated heading into the offseason. The veteran signal-caller has yet to make a decision on his future in the NFL, but he sounds enthusiastic. "I still feel like I've got a lot of room for growth on the field, based off what happened this last year," Smith said. But even if the 36-year-old returns in 2021, he won't be guaranteed a starting job, and there will be competition among Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke. Smith's comeback story was a great one in 2020, but he won't be much of a fantasy option if he returns and wins the starting gig in Washington.
