Right guard Joe Tippmann praised Smith's command, noting his experience and poise create confidence; tight end Mason Taylor highlighted Smith's demanding nature, motivation on third downs, and ability to keep the offense aligned. Entering his 13th season, Smith's veteran presence and calming demeanor were cited as key selling points when the Jets signed him to provide stability at quarterback.

Geno SmithPositiveYahoo Sports NFL

Geno Smith went 7-for-7 for 65 yards and a touchdown on his first preseason drive of 2026 against Pittsburgh, converting two third downs and completing passes to six receivers. His perfect performance and composure in-game shifted momentum around the Jets offense after an unconvincing training camp, generating optimism about the team's direction entering the season.
