Washington Redskins teammate Colt McCoy does the same for Texas

SAN ANTONIO — Former Utah quarterback Alex Smith returned to the Utes. Smith, who was 21-1 as a starter from 2003-04, served as an honorary team captain in Tuesday night’s Alamo Bowl game against Texas.

Smith, the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NFL draft, has been sidelined with a broken fibula and tibia since Nov. 18, 2018. Prior to that, the three-time Pro Bowl selection passed for 34,068 yards and 193 touchdowns. His pro career has included stints with the San Francisco 49ers (2005-12), Kansas City Chiefs (2013-17) and Washington Redskins (present).

A teammate from the latter — former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy — was an honorary captain for the Longhorns in the Alamo Bowl.
