Geno Smith will be entering his 12th year in the NFL when the 2024 season arrives. The veteran quarterback was drafted by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2013 draft.

After a four-year stint with the Jets, he played one season each with the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers before joining the Seattle Seahawks in 2019. Smith scored 24/50 on his Wonderlic test in 2013. His score is considered average for quarterbacks entering the big league.

Despite an average score on his Wonderlic test, Smith has proved that he's capable of making the right plays in clutch moments. He has earned two Pro Bowl honors and won the Comeback Player of the Year award in 2022.

Smith played four seasons with West Virginia before entering the 2013 NFL draft. He earned Second-team All-Big East honors in 2010, First-team All-Big East honors in 2011 and a Second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2012.
