Smith always knew how to play. He started as a freshman at Miramar, where he rose to prominence. His early challenges, including being a second-round pick who struggled with the Jets and later suffered setbacks, ultimately shaped him. Each team he backed up brought lessons of resilience, and now, he's a leader. His journey illustrates that with patience and determination, one can evolve and define their legacy, showing the importance of perseverance in the face of struggles.

Damon Cogdell reflects back on Geno's challenges, stating, 'Once he started to bounce around the NFL a little bit, it was painful to see him go through that.
