A deep dive into Alex Smith’s journey following his horrific leg injury that was suffered during a 2018 game was premiered Friday night on ESPN, and let’s just say, they showed just about everything.

Images shown on the feature show how doctors had to literally strip away almost all of the skin and muscle to rid the infection.
