SEATTLE, August 6, 2025 — After an unexpected resurgence in 2022, Geno Smith is determined to silence any doubters and prove that his breakout season was just the beginning. Heading into 2025, the veteran quarterback is poised to lead the Seattle Seahawks back to playoff contention, but the pressure to maintain his elevated level of play is mounting.
Smith’s incredible performance last season, where he posted career highs in passing yards and touchdowns, caught everyone off guard—except for Smith himself. "I knew I had it in me. I just needed the right opportunity and the right mindset," Smith said in a recent interview. “2022 was just the start. Now, it’s about building consistency and getting this team where we belong."
With DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as his primary targets, Smith has an explosive receiving corps to work with, and Kenneth Walker is a rising star in the backfield, ready to contribute in both the running and passing game. The Seahawks’ offense has a solid foundation, but it’s Smith who will ultimately steer the ship.
New offensive coordinator Shane Waldron is fully committed to tailoring the offense around Smith’s strengths, and early reports from training camp indicate that the quarterback is more comfortable than ever with the playbook. Smith's leadership has been highlighted as a major asset, and he’s already building great chemistry with his wideouts and running backs.
However, the question remains: Can Smith maintain his elite play over an entire season? The Seahawks will need him to not only stay healthy but to take the next step in his development. If he can deliver another top-tier season, Seattle’s offense could be one of the most potent in the NFC.
With all eyes on him, Smith is determined to show that his 2022 success was not a fluke. The 2025 season could either cement his legacy or set the stage for another chapter of uncertainty.
