Seattle's Pro Bowl Quarterback Geno Smith joins The Pivot to talk his comeback story from overcoming adversities in a sports world who wrote him off to finding himself again as one of the top QBs in the NFL.
In a rare moment, Smith who's known for being quiet and often reserved, is opening up to address early criticism of his NFL career, how he overcame certain perceptions on and off the field, dealt with conflicts and regained his confidence leading the Seahawks to the playoffs this season.
Geno talks with Ryan, Fred and Channing addressing some of the obstacles he faced from draft wknd, to playing in NY to a fight with a teammate and how his close upbringing with his family helped ground him and shape the man he is today.
Being one of the few black starting quarterbacks in the NFL, Geno shares his excitement and pride in seeing Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts face off in the Super Bowl and makes his pick as to what team he sees winning it all and why.
Tap in every Tuesday at noon eastern for our premiere episode of the Pivot. Special NFL seasonal drops on Friday afternoons at 3:30 pm. We are your one-stop platform for all your sports and entertainment content.

Geno is the man . I remember playing against in high school. He went to miramar and I went to Flanagan, arch rivals he killed us 63-14 but for 3 years all you ever heard was Geno going to the league. Now my son plays for Miramar and one of Geno s good friends and teammates from high school who made it to the CFL coaches my son .Props to Geno for how far he's come.

"These are stories I never told anybody." This comment from Geno Smith epitomizes the abilities of Ryan, Fred and Channing to create such a welcoming and relaxing environment for guests to be their authentic selves. Another homerun!

WV born & raised, just south of Morgantown here 🙋‍♂️.. Absolutely love Geno! Still remember the monster 656 YDS 8 TD game he put up in 2012 against Baylor.. We were absolutely electric, on Sportscenter every weekend & legitimately competing for national championships & Heisman trophys, or in the conversation, during the Pat White, Steve Slaton, Owen Schmitt, Pat McAfee days (2004-2008).. then the Geno Smith, Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey days (2009-2012).. Nothing but love & respect for Geno 👏🙌🙏

@Tony__Tone Год назад

I've seen people make the argument that they only want Geno back if the price is right. And I think there's also somewhat of a delusion that Pete can make any quarterback perform like that. I still think Drew Lock deserves another shot but man was it so much fun to watch Geno this season. Going to the games and seeing him play the way that he commands the field the way that his teammates respond to him and the way that the fans respond to him this is his team now.

@Nelly34e Год назад

@@Notforsale206 straight facts. The people who wanted to keep Russ and are butthurt that Russ stunk and Geno thrived now want Geno to fail to prove them right.

@Nelly34e Год назад

@@Tony__Tone Geno was the best deep ball passer in the NFL. He broke seahawk records here. You can’t just plug in any QB here and they’ll be good. Pete also had TJack and Whitehurst and neither were very good. He paid Flynn who didn’t even see the field. Fans are delusional.
