Former SF 49ers quarterback Alex Smith is making his second start against his old team, and this occasion is a bit more special.

In 2005, the SF 49ers had the top pick in the NFL Draft. Despite having a kid by the name of Aaron Rodgers on the board, the organization decided to take the quarterback from Utah, Alex Smith.

It’s been 15 years since the pick was made and oh boy, has Smith seen it all.

The last time Smith faced San Francisco, he was playing with the Kansas City Cheifs.
