Story summary

Geno Smith, former quarterback of the New York Jets, returns to the team after a stint with other NFL teams like Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. During his initial tenure with the Jets from 2013 to 2016, Smith saw limited playing time but had a significant "what-if" moment when he was traded for a first-round draft pick just days before the team's star quarterback injured himself in a preseason game. His second act includes notable performances such as leading the Rams to an impressive season and earning him another Pro Bowl selection. Now back with the Jets, Smith has the opportunity to build on his past successes and potentially lead the team towards more playoff contention than they've seen in over 15 years.
