Geno Smith Rumors & News

Former Michigan defensive tackle Will Campbell briefly played offensive line during one season in Ann Arbor, but never in a game. He hasn't done that since high school. He has some catching up to do, now that the New York Jets have drafted him as an offensive guard.

As I sat through my umpteenth hour of NFL Draft coverage on Sunday morning (sorry, Poseur!), the panelists worked through exhausted story lines, of which my biases found either painfully obnoxious (Geno Smith, Manti Te'o) or terribly interesting (Tyrann Mathieu). Ok, not terribly interesting. The Mathieu story is skidding on tires without tread, the kind of vehicle that's only interesting in so much as you are wondering with what it may collide. But there are story angles to tell here, and whether you want to believe it or not, the networks are generally playing what people want to se...

While Tavon Austin, Geno Smith, Stedman Bailey were drafted in consecutive rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft this past week, there have been five players who have signed undrafted free agent contracts since the completion of the draft (so far). In no particular order: Center Joe Madsen to the Pittsburgh Steelers: I'm going to the steelers baby. black and yellow #steelernation — Joey Madsen (@MadsenJoey) April 27, 2013 Offensive Lineman Jeff Braun to the Baltimore Ravens: I'm a Baltimore Raven! — Jeff Braun (@JEFFBRAUN57) April 28, 2013 Wide Receiver J.D.

Exhale, West Virginia fans. Geno Smith is a New York Jet. The former West Virginia quarterback was drafted by the Jets Friday night with the No. 39 overall pick in the NFL draft, ending a long two days for the prolific passer. Smith, who was bypassed in the first round on Thursday night despite expectations he could go in the top-15, returned to Radio City Music Hall and was chosen just after 7 p.m. “It was tough, but I’m here today because of what I withstood,” said Smith. “I’m just proud to be a Jet. It’s a dream come true to finally live out my dream.” “I’m ready to compete. I’m ready to g...

Soooooo..... Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith didn't get selected last night, but the St. Louis Rams traded up to number 8 to get our Tavon Austin (perhaps the only player to have a jersey with an accurate number last night). Will Geno get snagged early this evening, perhaps by the Jaguars? Or perhaps a team like the Eagles would be interested. I would tend to guess yes, after he rearranged his and his family's travel plans to stick around for tonight. Hopefully we'll get to see Stedman Bailey selected tonight as well. Television coverage is being provided by the NFL Network and ESPN...

Geno Smith opted to stay in town for another day last night. Today he learned he'll be hanging around for a lot longer. Early Friday evening Geno Smith's wait finally ended as he was selected in the second round of the NFL draft: 39th overall by the New York Jets. The storyline many wrote for WVU's Geno Smith on Thursday night's first round was disappointment. The image transmitted across America of the record-breaking signalcaller sitting sullenly in the draft green room was one of powerless frustration. Tonight he finally strode proudly across the stage of New York City's Radio City ...

It was a rough first day for a lot of NFL prospects. The Honey Badger is still waiting to find somebody brave enough to draft him. Manti Te'o talked to this one GM who was really into him, and yeah sure, here's his picture. He's probably gonna call any minute now. Geno Smith was projected by some into the high first round, got invited to New York, and did the old "wait of shame." He told ESPN last night he won't be back this evening. But today is a new day. Especially for a series of Georgia Bulldogs who have a great chance of getting picked in the second and third rounds. Stick around...

Landshark, bitches! NFL Draft, Y'all The first round of the draft last night was pretty crazy. Geno Smith still hasn't been picked. There were a lot of odd picks everywhere in the round, and some GMs had better hope their reaches work out. If EJ Manuel isn't good and any other quarterback from this draft is, the Bills are going to look like, well, the Bills. Wahl Gets No Help From Bullpen | Clarion Ledger That's an interesting headline. Sure. The bullpen gave up two runs in two innings. That's not good. Still, it's tough to be that pissed about a pitching staff that gives up three runs...
