Geno Smith is an American football quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. Smith was selected by the New York Jets in the 2013 NFL draft with the 39th pick. After starting his first two seasons as QB1 for the New York Jets, injuries and inconsistency led to him being benched and gradually moved to a backup spot. After moving to New York Giants (2017 season), and Los Angeles Chargers (2018 season), he settled with the Seahawks in 2019 as QB2 behind Russell Wilson. After riding the bench for 8 years, Geno was given a second chance as a starter in 2022, after Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos. In his first year as the Seahawks starter, Geno led the team to a postseason berth with a 9-8 record. Geno logged a career-high in both passing yards (4,282) and touchdowns (30) that season. The 2023 season saw him miss two games due to an injury and led the team to an 8-7 record in 15 starts.
The 34-year-old quarterback (as of October 2024) began his football journey at Miramar High School, where he started playing high school football. For his exceptional performance during his time at Miramar High School, as a junior, he was named second-team all-state quarterback and second-team all-Broward County as an athlete. According to the Miami Herald and South Florida Sun Sentinel, he was the No. 1 rated player in Broward County and he graduated as the third-best passer in the history of Broward County. After making a name for himself in high school, he chose to play college football for West Virginia University. Similar to his high school career, his collegiate career is also adorned with accolades. In his four years with the Mountaineers, Smith was named Big East Offensive Player of the Week four times and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week thrice. The former two-time National Offensive Player of the Week passed for more than 11,500 yards in his collegiate career while also scoring 100 total touchdowns.
