About this listen
On this episode of Empty the Bench: Small Market Edition, Callan McClurg dives deep into a narrative that transcends the box score to explore the sheer resilience of the human spirit. The Unbroken Path chronicles the extraordinary career of Alex Smith, a journey that began with the local stardom of San Diego’s Helix High School before escalating to the immense pressure of being the NFL’s first overall pick.
Callan brings his signature blend of broadcast booth insight and small-market passion to dissect Smith’s transformation from a scrutinized prospect to a veteran leader whose life and career were forever changed in a single evening. We revisit the harrowing details of the injury that nearly cost him his leg and his life, alongside the grueling, unprecedented recovery that followed.
This is an unapologetic look at the business of the game and the heart of an athlete who refused to let his story end in a hospital bed. Whether you are a fan of the teams he led or simply a believer in the power of the comeback, this episode provides the analysis and perspective for those who cheer differently.
