The American football player Geno Smith is a quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL).
He played college football at West Virginia, leading the Mountaineers to multiple bowl games, breaking many passing records, and earning multiple awards before getting drafted by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Smith made his professional debut on August 9, 2013 in the first preseason game against the Detroit Lions. He completed 6-of-7 passes for 47 yards but left the game due to an ankle injury in the second quarter.
He was named the team’s starting quarterback on September 4 after Sanchez suffered a shoulder injury against the Giants.
Following two inconsistent seasons as the Jets starting quarterback, Smith eventually lost his starting position due to injuries in his final two years with the team.

Prior to joining the Seahawks, Smith played in the NFL for the New York Giants, Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets.
