Gotta wonder if he retires this offseason. Agreed, he definitely has nothing left to prove.

Make those words "life" and you'll be closer to the truth. I suspect that he is approaching the limits of orthopedic science by playing on his injured leg. Perhaps somebody here who knows more about medical science than I do could comment on this.

During one part of the documentary that showed Alex working out with wounded military veterans, one of the veterans told him that it was their opinion that he was not "done" with surgeries on the leg.

Someone else on here showed the screencap of his leg, and the bones are still incredibly wavy looking and he has this large "lump" for lack of a better term where his ankle would be. I wonder if it will stay that way for the rest of his life, or once his playing career is over, will he have another operation to make his leg look more normal at the expense of it not being able to be up for the rigors of football, etc..
