Geno Smith with a perfect day in team drills. Geno went 11/11 with 3 TDs in 11 on 11, 4/4 with a TD (Omar Cooper) in 7 on 7. Ball never hit the ground. Chemistry with AD Mitchell keeps building. Six completions to Garrett Wilson. Really good day for QB1. (Not as good for Cade Klubnik. Started off the day well but threw two interceptions combined in 11s and 7s. 6/10 in 11 on 11)
