NFL pro Alex Smith knows what it's like to face down a career-ending injury — and come out the other side. After a 2018 accident on the field left him fighting for his life, the quarterback for the Washington Football Team (previously known as the Washington Redskins) fought back, found help and returned to the field this year, marking one of the biggest comebacks in sports. This is why he decided to team with apparel company Attitude is Free on his first collection, using his experience and help motivate and encourage others to "JUST LIVE" in every moment, to stay positive and keep going. 100% of the proceeds from his line will go to the Center for the Intrepid, a rehab facility that helps U.S. Service men and women get back on their feet after a devastating injury, the facility that also helped Alex return to the field.
