Geno Smith begins training camp as main QB for Seahawks

Geno Smith has returned to training camp with the Seattle Seahawks in their preparation for the upcoming season.

Smith was an integral part of the team that secured an unexpected playoff berth last year and the 32-year-old is fully determined to repeat that feat.

“I mean, there are advantages. Having more reps, being able to rep more with the starters and with the guys,” Smith said. “But mentality-wise, nothing changes. Nothing changes and things can change quickly in NFL so I’m not really worried about that type of stuff.”

Smith achieved a franchise-record 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns, securing the Seahawks 9 wins and essentially cementing his place as the top quarterback over Drew Lock.

The 32-year-old recently signed a three-year deal, worth $75m, which ties him long with the team.

“There really is a quality coming back. His seriousness about taking advantage of all the steps along the way to get prepared and to be right,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “He knows how he needs to connect with his teammates and players that he’s going to go to.”
