At 35 and in 14th Season, Jets' Geno Smith Has Frank Reich Seeing a QB in His Prime 'Like He's 28'
Frank Reich said Smith looks physically in his prime and praised his leadership as the Jets seek steadier quarterback play after a 3-14 season.
- On Friday, New York Jets coach Frank Reich praised quarterback Geno Smith during training camp in Florham Park, calling him "physically in his prime" and highlighting his "elite" football mind.
- The Jets acquired Smith from Las Vegas following a 3-14 season when the offense struggled with rotating signal-callers Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook.
- Having coached elite quarterbacks like Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, Andrew Luck, and Matt Ryan, Reich assessed Smith's mechanics: "they're pure." There are only a couple guys in the league he would compare.
- Reich called Smith the "leader of the offense" with "laser focus," while fifth-year tight end Jelani Woods described him as a "legend" whose professionalism resonates throughout the locker room.
- Entering his 14th NFL season, Smith brings experience from Seattle where he recorded at least 3,500 passing yards in three straight seasons, though he threw 17 interceptions last year in Las Vegas.
