Geno Smith was once considered a major part of the New York Jets' future, a potential franchise quarterback with a big smile and an even bigger arm.
Geno Smith #7 of the Seattle Seahawks waits to run onto the field before the start of the game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field on November 24, 2024 in Seattle, Washington.
On Sunday, Smith will face the franchise that drafted him in the second round with the 39th overall pick in 2013 out of West Virginia for the second time as an opposing starter with the Seattle Seahawks — and first at MetLife Stadium, his first NFL home. But the quarterback's jaw was broken by linebacker IK Enemkpali in a fight in the locker room during training camp in 2015. Ryan Fitzpatrick took over as the starter and Smith started just one more game for the Jets, finishing with 28 touchdown passes and 36 interceptions in 33 games, including 30 starts.“I’ve always had tremendous love and respect for that organization,” said Smith, now 34. “Obviously, the team that drafted me, gave me a chance out of the gate. A lot of great people there.
“I’m going to enjoy them," Rodgers said. "Obviously, the future is unknown for a lot of us, but yeah, I have a lot of pride in this game — when I take the field, when I go to practice. So I’ll be excited about being out there with the guys and finish off strong.”The game marks the first for New York since owner Woody Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas on Nov. 19. That came six weeks after coach Robert Saleh was dismissed.
