For the first time in his professional career, Geno Smith’s uniform bore no references to the New York City area.
Signer of a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers back in April, Smith holds a notorious place in New York football history. He began his career as a second-round pick of the New York Jets spending four roller-coaster seasons in green before becoming the man that broke Eli Manning’s monopoly on the New York Giants’ starting quarterback job last season.
Nowadays, he’s looking to back up another long starting streak as he’s competing with Cardale Jones to be the primary backup to Phillip Rivers, who has made 192 consecutive regular-season starts entering this year.
