The Las Vegas Raiders have high hopes that quarterback Geno Smith can guide them to better results this season.
Acquired in the offseason via trade with the Seattle Seahawks, Smith now reunites with head coach Pete Carroll in Las Vegas. Smith enjoyed the best run of his career under Carroll, winning Comeback Player of the Year in 2022 and emerging as a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL. Now paired with tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty, Smith is expected to serve as the catalyst for a more explosive Raiders offense.
However, some of the national attention may be headed towards another Smith during the football season.
