Bobby Wagner comments on the Seahawks’ respect for Geno Smith
Many would agree the Seattle Seahawks might still have questions at the quarterback position moving forward. But what is not up for debate is the love and respect starter Geno Smith commands among the locker room.
For nearly two years, the 12th Man has come to know Geno Smith as an incredibly humble man, grateful of his position. His years spent bouncing around the league as a backup helped shape his perspective that what must come first is being a good teammate.
When Smith missed two games due to injury, including last second on Monday Night Football, Smith was still on the sideline cheering on Drew Lock. Seahawks veteran Bobby Wagner spoke at length to the media at what that meant to the team.

Right now, there is no doubt the Seahawks players are bought into Geno Smith. There’s a reason head coach Pete Carroll was so quick to affirm Smith as the starter, if healthy, even immediately following Seattle’s upset of the Philadelphia Eagles.
