Eugene Cyril "Geno" Smith III[2] (born October 10, 1990) is an American football player who is a quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. He played college football at West Virginia, leading the Mountaineers to multiple Bowl games, breaking numerous passing records and garnering multiple awards before getting drafted by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. After 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. He has also spent time as the backup for the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers, becoming the first African American quarterback to start for the former.
Early years[]
Smith was born to Eugene Smith, Jr. and Tracy Seller in Lakemont, Georgia on October 10, 1990.[1] His great-uncle, Danny Smith was a record breaking All-American hurdler at Florida State, and his cousin Melvin Bratton was a star running back at Miami in the mid-1980s.[2] His nickname, Geno, came from his grandfather, who was nicknamed "Big Geno".[3]
He was admitted to Norland Middle School's magnet program, which dedicated two hours a day to arts instruction.[4] He would go on to attend Miramar High School where he was coached by former Mountaineer Damon Cogdell. As a junior, he passed for 2,200 yards 25 touchdowns and three interceptions and was named Second Team All-State QB. He was also named Second Team All-Broward County as an athlete for 2007.[5] Following his junior year he was invited to the prestigious Elite 11 Quarterback Camp in Aliso Viejo, California.[6]
During Smith's senior season, he led his team to the state 6A semi-finals and completed 205 of 338 passes for 3,089 yards and 30 touchdowns while also rushing for over 300 yards. He was an All-State First Team in Florida Class 6A and a Parade All-American.[5] He was also the No. 1 rated player in Broward County according to the Miami Herald and South Florida Sun Sentinel and finished No. 2 in the voting for Mr. Florida.[5] He finished his career as the third-best passer in Broward County history, and was named to the ESPN Top 150 prospects list. He chose to attend West Virginia over offers from Florida State, South Florida, Boston College, and Alabama.[7]

With help from senior running back Noel Devine, the Mountaineers cut Marshall's lead to 8 points. After the Mountaineers' defense stopped Marshall, a punt put the Mountaineers near their own end zone again, starting from the 2-yard line. After completing 9 of 13 passes and scrambling for 20 yards, Smith found tight end Will Johnson in the corner of the endzone for a touchdown. With Marshall still leading 21–19, head coach Bill Stewart elected to go for the two-point conversion.

Professional career[]
Smith received an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine where his performance was well received by scouts who highlighted his athleticism and strong arm[44] but noted his ball placement needed improvement.[45] Smith was widely regarded as one of the top prospects alongside EJ Manuel of Florida State.[46] In the days leading up to the draft, several NFL teams expressed interest in Smith including the Kansas City Chiefs (No. 1 selection), the Jacksonville Jaguars (No. 2 selection), the Oakland Raiders (No. 3 selection), the Philadelphia Eagles (No. 4 selection), the Buffalo Bills (No. 8 selection), and the New York Jets (No. 9 and No. 13 selections).[47]

New York Jets[]
Draft and signing[]
Smith was in attendance for the first round of the draft as many analysts and scouts expected him to be taken that night[48] however he was not selected; EJ Manuel was the lone quarterback taken in the first round.[49] Smith declined to be interviewed by ESPN afterwards and originally planned to return home but later decided to attend the second day of the draft.[49] Several league executives alleged Smith did not handle the draft process in a professional manner which caused him to fall out of the first round[50] while analysts pointed to his late-season decline as a senior at West Virginia, which exposed his flaws, as the primary reason.[51] The following day, the Jets expressed interest in trading up in the second round to select Smith but couldn't consummate a trade.[52] Despite this, Smith remained available and the Jets selected him with the 39th overall pick.[53] General manager John Idzik, following the selection, stated Smith would compete with incumbent Mark Sanchez in training camp to determine the starting quarterback.[54]
Smith fired his agency, Select Sports Group, upon the completion of the draft and sought new representation.[55] He signed with Roc Nation Sports on May 22, 2013 with Kimberley Miale serving as his representative.[56] Smith worked out in his home state of Florida during the offseason, prompting questions as to whether or not he had spurned Sanchez by not attending Sanchez's Jets West summer camp in California.[57] Smith and Sanchez dismissed this notion with Sanchez saying that it was 'no big deal.'[58] Smith signed a four-year, $5 million contract on July 22, 2013[59] with approximately $690,000 in workout bonuses.[60]
2013 season[]
Smith made his professional debut in the preseason on August 9, 2013 against the Detroit Lions.[61] He completed 6-of-7 passes for 47 yards but left the game due to an ankle injury in the second quarter.[61] X-rays showed no structural damage and Smith returned to practice on August 11.[62] Smith started the Jets' third preseason game against the New York Giants completing 16 of 30 passes for 199 yards, a touchdown, and four turnovers.[63] Smith was named the team's starting quarterback on September 4 after Sanchez suffered a shoulder injury against the Giants.[64]
In his first regular season game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Smith completed 24-of-38 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown. With only a few seconds left in the fourth quarter, Smith was hit out of bounds by Lavonte David, which drew a late hit penalty and the Jets went on to score the game-winning field goal.[65] In Week 2 against the New England Patriots, Smith struggled as he completed 15 of his 35 passes for 214 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions, as the Jets lost 10–13.[66] In Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills, Smith completed 16 of his 29 passes for 331 yards, rushing for a touchdown and passing for two touchdowns and two interceptions as the Jets won 27–20.[67] Smith became the first rookie quarterback in franchise history to throw for 300 or more yards in a game.[68]
Smith struggled Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans.[69] He completed 23 of his 34 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown while committing four turnovers—two led to Titans touchdowns as the Jets lost 13–38.[69] The Jets faced the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week 5; Smith completed 16 of his 20 passes for 199 yards and three touchdowns.[70] He completed all four of his passes on the Jets' final drive,[70] allowing Nick Folk to kick the game-winning 43-yard field goal.[71] Smith was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week[72] and the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for his performance.[73] In Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Smith threw for 201 yards and two interceptions as the Jets lost, to the previously winless Steelers, 6–19.[74] In Week 7, the Jets played the New England Patriots; Smith completed 17 of his 33 passes for 233 yards and scored two touchdowns as the Jets won 30–27 in overtime.[75]
Smith struggled in the Jets' Week 8 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals as he completed 20-of-30 passes for 159 yards but threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns before being replaced by Matt Simms in the fourth quarter.[76] Smith started the following week against the New Orleans Saints; he completed 8 of his 19 passes for 115 yards and a rushing touchdown in a 26–20 upset of the Saints.[77] The Jets returned from their bye week to lose three straight contests to the Bills, Ravens and Dolphins. Smith struggled during this stretch as he failed to score any points and committed eight turnovers;[78][79][80] he was benched in favor of Simms against Buffalo and Miami leading coach Rex Ryan to be noncommittal in starting Smith the rest of the year.[81]
Smith showed gradual improvement as the Jets won three of their final four games. Against the Raiders, Smith completed 16 of his 25 passes for 219 yards and scored twice in the Jets' 37–27 win that kept the team in playoff contention.[82] The following week, the Jets played the Carolina Panthers. Smith performed well until throwing a costly pick six in the fourth quarter. The Jets lost 30–20 and were eliminated from playoff contention. Smith finished the game completing 15 of his 28 passes for 167 yards, a touchdown and interception.[83] The Jets won their next contest against the Browns with Smith completing 20-of-36 passes for 214 yards and three touchdowns.[84] In 20–7 win over the Miami Dolphins in his season finale, Smith completed 17-of-27 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown as the loss eliminated Miami from playoff contention.[85] Smith completed his rookie season with 3,046 yards, 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.[86]
2014 season[]
Smith was named the starter for the 2014 season on August 22, 2014.[87] Smith opened the season passing for 221 yards and throwing a touchdown and an interception in a 19–14 victory over the Oakland Raiders.[88] During Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers, Smith passed for 176 yards and rushed for a touchdown but had an interception in the 31-24 loss.[89] During Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears in Week 3, Smith's very first play resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown by Ryan Mundy. Smith finished the game with 316 passing yards, a touchdown and 2 interceptions as the Jets lost to the Bears 27-19.[90] During Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, Smith threw for 209 yards with an interception and a lost fumble during the 24-17 loss.[91] On October 3, 2014, Smith was fined $12,000 for yelling profanity at fans while walking to the locker room during halftime in Week 4. Despite this incident, he was allowed to start in Week 5 against the San Diego Chargers, in which he threw for only 27 yards with an interception and was benched for the second half in favor of Michael Vick as the Jets were shut out 31-0.[92] Prior to the Week 5 game, Smith missed a team meeting, eventually admitting that he went to a movie theater in San Diego, unaware that the eastern and pacific time zones had a three-hour difference. Smith started in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos, throwing for 190 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in a 31-17 loss.[93] During Thursday Night Football against the Patriots in Week 7, Smith threw for 226 yards and the Jets combined for 218 rushing yards but an ensuing game-winning drive fell short due to a blocked field goal as the Jets lost 27-25.[94] On October 26, a game that was relocated to Ford Field due to Buffalo being seized by blizzard conditions, Smith lasted only ten minutes to begin regulation as he went 2-of-8 with three interceptions against the Bills, and was subsequently benched in favor of Michael Vick. His passer rating for that game was 0.04.[95] On the final regular season game at Miami, Smith lead the Jets to a 37-24 victory. Smith passed for a career-high 358 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions, completing 20-of-25 attempts for a perfect passer rating. This was Smith's first perfect game, the sixth in Jets history, and the only one of the 2014 season.[96][97] For the 2014 season, Smith finished the season with 2,525 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions in 14 games (13 starts).[98]
2015 season[]
On August 11, 2015, Smith was involved in an altercation with defensive end IK Enemkpali in the locker room. Smith suffered a fractured jaw after Enemkpali punched him in the face. Smith was ruled out for 6–10 weeks, and Enemkpali was released by the Jets shortly thereafter.[99][100] Two days later, Smith underwent surgery on his fractured jaw.[101] Ryan Fitzpatrick led the team to a 2–0 record while Smith was injured, so new head coach Todd Bowles decided to continue starting Fitzpatrick, even with Smith being healthy.
On November 1, 2015, Smith entered the Jets' game against the Oakland Raiders in relief of Fitzpatrick, who left the game with an injured thumb. Smith threw 42 passing attempts, with 27 completions, two touchdowns, and one interception in the 20–34 loss.[102][103] This was Smith's only appearance in a game in 2015.[104]
2016 season[]
With Ryan Fitzpatrick re-signing with the Jets, Smith continued to remain in the backup role.[105]
During Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals, Smith came in relief for Fitzpatrick for the first time in the 2016 season due to the Jets being down 28–3 and an unpleasant performance by Fitzpatrick during the first three quarters. Two days later, Smith was named starter for the following game in place of the struggling Fitzpatrick.[106]
Making the start in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens, Smith had 95 passing yards until leaving the game with an apparent knee injury. Fitzpatrick would later lead the Jets to a 24-16 victory over the Ravens.[107] The next day, it was revealed that Smith had a torn ACL, effectively ending his 2016 season.[108] He was placed on injured reserve on October 26, 2016.[109]
New York Giants[]
On March 28, 2017, Smith signed with the New York Giants.[110] On November 5, 2017, during Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, Smith came in the game in relief of Eli Manning late in the 4th quarter. Smith finished with only two incomplete passes, as the Giants lost 51–17.[111]
On November 28, 2017, the Giants named Smith the starter for the upcoming game against the Raiders, which ended Manning's 210-game starting streak with the Giants. The start made Smith the first black quarterback to start for the Giants and the first quarterback to start for both the Giants and the Jets; it also meant every NFL team had started a black player at quarterback, with the Giants being the last team to do so.[112] Making his first start with the Giants on December 3, 2017 against the Raiders, Smith finished with 212 passing yards and a touchdown but had two first-half fumbles within the Raiders' 30 yard line and the Giants lost, 24–17.[113] On December 5, Manning was renamed the starter.[114]
Los Angeles Chargers[]
On April 1, 2018, Smith signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers.[115]
During Week 6, Smith made his first appearance with the Chargers, completing one pass for eight yards as the Chargers won 38–14 over the Cleveland Browns.[116] Overall, Smith appeared in five games in the 2018 season in relief roles.[117]
Seattle Seahawks[]
Smith signed with the Seattle Seahawks on May 15, 2019.[118] He was expected to compete with Paxton Lynch to be the backup to Russell Wilson. On August 31st, Geno was cut, leaving Wilson the lone QB on the roster. The Seahawks resigned Smith the next day.[119][120]
