The pairing of Geno Smith and the Seahawks has worked out perfectly for both parties.

After the veteran quarterback saw minimal action as a backup to Russell Wilson in his first three seasons in Seattle, Smith has now produced two consecutive Pro Bowl campaigns since taking over as a full-time starter. As Seahawks veterans report to camp next Tuesday, Smith still believes he can reach new heights entering his 12th NFL season, Christian Gonzales of NFL.com reports.

"I'm still getting better," Smith said this week, via John Boyle of the team’s website. "I've made leaps and bounds physically, I'm still getting stronger at my age. I don't know if that's rare or not, but that's something I'm doing. I've gotten faster, I don't think I've ever thrown the ball as good as I am right now. I'm in a really good place, just accuracy wise, and I can throw the ball farther than I ever have.

"That's the reason why I think I can still improve, because I work hard and I push myself, and I'm seeing the improvements within myself. The outside noise never bothered me and never will; I know internally what I can do, and I know I'm still not a finished product."

With training camp days away for veteran players, Smith is ecstatic to begin preparing for the 2024 season.

"I'm super excited for this team," he said. "I've been working with guys throughout the break, and all the guys are looking really good, really sharp. We've been studying, getting together, going over the plays, just getting ready for training camp and for the season. I'm just so excited where we are right now, physically and mentally, I think we're in a good place."
