Geno Smith reflects on his Seattle Seahawks journey

In a candid revelation, Geno Smith has opened up about his time with the Seattle Seahawks, expressing the feeling of being overshadowed by former star quarterback Russell Wilson. The sentiment of not fully belonging to the team has lingered with Smith, shaping his perception of his tenure in Seattle.

Struggles with identity in Seattle

Throughout his time as a Seahawk, Smith often grappled with finding his own identity. Despite being a talented quarterback, he felt that the presence of Wilson, a former Super Bowl champion and a perennial Pro Bowler, made it difficult for him to establish himself. “Never felt like Seattle was my team,” Smith admitted, reflecting on the challenges he faced in carving out a niche within the organization.

Moving on and embracing a new chapter

Now, as he embarks on a new journey with a fresh team, Smith is determined to shed the shadow of his past. He is focused on proving himself as a capable leader and quarterback. The lessons learned in Seattle, both good and bad, have molded him into a more resilient player who is eager to take on this new challenge.

A fresh start ahead

As Smith prepares for the upcoming season, he holds onto the hope that this new chapter will bring the recognition and respect he believes he deserves. With a renewed mindset and the experiences from his time in Seattle, Smith is ready to seize the opportunity to showcase his skills and step confidently into the spotlight.
