I just wonder if this were the 80's would he have been allowed to keep playing and we would never have known about most of his mistakes??? So freaking sad. Could have been fighting to be one of the best ever now he's just fighting for his life.

I've heard some f**king CRAZY stories from a very prominent former 49er from the '80s.

Eddie D knew how to get rid of the bodies.

Glazer, an NFL insider for Fox Sports who trains NFL players in mixed martial arts, claims Smith is sober and working out regularly at a West Hollywood gym. Furthermore, Glazer says Smith is working with military veterans.
"Aldon's great because Aldon's been working out with our (veterans) in our MVP program every single Wednesday night," Glazer told TMZ Sports. "Aldon has been sober for a while and he's been helping a lot of our vets with their sobriety."

Glazer's assessment is heartening. But reinstatement is no sure thing. Even if the NFL gives Smith the OK, any team signing him would be taking a leap of faith given all he has been through.

In Smith's favor is his first two seasons with the 49ers during which he was a force of nature, compiling 33.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and 56 quarterback hits. He was First Team All-Pro in his second season. But his inability to stay out of trouble led the 49ers and Raiders to cut ties with him. A potential snag could be Smith's age (30) and the fact he has been out of the league for four years.

All that said, don't understate the appeal of a long-shot comeback story. The more implausible, it says here, the better.
