Alex Smith Delivers the 2014 Commencement Address 

We live in an age that doesn't value humility or grace. Alex Smith has both in spades. Great speech, great QB, great man. Respect.

Just a pure class act .. Great speech!

Being one of those people who boo'd Alex at his own home game, made me respect him even more with the way he composed himself and dealt with it. He became one of my favorite players and was replaced out of nowhere. I'm glad he was able to move onto better things, and is constantly bettering himself. Definitely a great role model.

An amazing all-around person and athlete! I love his sense of humor, especially the 7 in 7 bit!

Class act on and off the field. Very eloquently spoken and the epitome of someone who has faced and overcame adversity. Great advice that everyone should follow.

that raw lewis innuendo tho.

incredibly smart and such an athlete! congrats Alex Smith!

Alex exudes genuine. Great speech, great advice, even better man. Congrats, U of U Class of 2014.

Alex Smith, NFL quarterback, U alumnus and member of college football's original BCS-busting team, is not your typical jock. And on Thursday night, he did not give your typical commencement address. Here's Alex Smith's advice to the Class of 2014: 1) Identify your weaknesses 2) Embrace the new 3) Let go of what you can't control You can read the transcript of Smith's speech, in its entirety, at bit.ly/AlexSmithSpeech

I booed him, therefore I made him into who he is today. You're welcome, Alex.

Always believe and knew he'll be a beast at QB. Sad day when we got rid of him. Biggest mistake because we would still be contending every year.

i still wish we didn't have colin kaepernick....
