If there was anyone who knows what Zach Wilson is going through right now it’s Geno Smith.
The Seahawks quarterback and Wilson made sure to track down each other after Smith’s team defeated the Jets 23-6 in Seattle on Sunday. Smith was seen on video having a long chat with the Jets’ 2021 No. 2 pick, likely sharing some wisdom from his own Jets experience.
Smith wasn’t drafted as high as Wilson, he was taken No. 39 overall by the Jets, but his early career path looks quite similar to where Wilson’s is headed. Smith was drafted in 2013 and made 30 starts over three seasons with Jets before finding himself on the bench. He then bounced around the league before finding his footing with the Seahawks.
Wilson is likely on track for a similar situation. He’s already been benched this year and the Jets could look to bring in a veteran replacement. Smith has always been mature and not resentful about his time with the Jets, making sure to say the win on Sunday — which eliminated Gang Green from playoff contention — wasn’t extra special.
If Wilson ends up on the bench permanently or trade eventually, Smith’s resurgence in Seattle is the kind of guy to look at as hope things can turn around.
