Jets' Geno Smith 'not surprised' his assailant is a Bills' captain

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Geno Smith said he's not surprised IK Enemkpali will be a game captain for the Buffalo Bills. Frankly, he doesn't understand why it's a story.

"I don't know why you guys are acting surprised," the New York Jets' backup quarterback told a crowd of reporters Tuesday at his locker. "I don't think you are surprised. No one should be surprised."

He's right about that, but it's a newsworthy story because of what transpired Aug. 11. You know: Enemkpali punched Smith in the face, broke his jaw, got fired by the Jets and was picked up immediately by the Bills.
