Geno Smith, elite thrower of the deep ball

For years, the Seahawks were recognized as having the best deep-ball thrower in the NFL. In 2023 that could still be the case.

For years, the Seattle Seahawks were widely recognized as having perhaps the best deep-throwing quarterback in the NFL. In 2023, it could very well still be the same case.

Quarterback Geno Smith turned heads last year as he won the Comeback Player of the Year award and earned a Pro Bowl nomination. Smith set the Seahawks single-season passing yards record, and he did so in part by throwing it over the top of defenses routinely.

If Smith can replicate that success, Seattle could very well improve upon their nine-win season. The Seahawks have their sights set much higher than a quick wild-card exit, and they’re banking on Smith to be the guy to take them there.
