Geno Smith Celebrates 36th Birthday Amid Notable NFL Career

Geno Smith, a veteran quarterback in the NFL, celebrates his 36th birthday today. He is recognized as a two-time Pro Bowler and the 2022 AP Comeback Player of the Year.

Smith's career began when he was drafted by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft after a successful college career at West Virginia. His rookie season saw him finish with 3,046 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions, leading the Jets to an 8-8 record.

Despite a challenging start, including being benched and facing a serious injury due to a locker room incident, Smith later transitioned to the Seattle Seahawks, where he regained a starting position in 2022. He achieved a career-high 10 wins in 2024 before a difficult season with the Raiders in 2025. Remarkably, he is now back with the Jets, marking a decade since his first NFL start in 2013.
