When the Chicago Bears cleaned out the front office and coaching staff, wide receiver Brandon Marshall saw the writing on the wall. He knew he would not be a member of the Bears for long, which is why he decided to call quarterbacks around the league to see if he could have a lasting relationship with any of them. The one young signal caller in particular that left a mark on Marshall was none other than Geno Smith of the New York Jets.
“I was really shocked at the intelligence, how smart he was,” Marshall said, according to CBS Sports.
