The Seattle Seahawks QB sat down during a Jets Talk LIVE segment in 2013. Geno Smith expressed his fondness and tried to replicate the characteristics of an athlete who has no association with football. The present Seahawks QB hailed NBA Icon Michael Jordan and how he tried to put the athlete’s aspects in his life.
Geno Smith mentioned, “It wasn’t even a football player man. I was a big Michael Jordan fan, just from the things that I read and heard about him is he always held his teammates to the utmost accountability. That’s something I try and do. I try to hold myself to the highest standard possible.”

Smith said that he is attempting to master his practice. He hasn’t had one so far, but he plans to go out and practice being perfect. The quarterback is still learning and making mistakes daily. But the goal so far has been to avoid making mistakes, and he is simply learning as much as he can.
It is an intriguing preference for a quarterback in the NFL. However, all young players might aspire to emulate Air Jordan’s work ethic. Smith has evolved into a lethal competitor and is thriving as a Seahawk.
Geno Smith is doing things that Russell Wilson did not

Pete Carroll spoke on his podcast, mentioning that Smith is wearing the wristband, which is a big help. It has ramped up, straightened out, and vacuumed up things. That is also a factor. He had never done that before because there was an objection to it.
