Despite two disappointing seasons to start his Jets career, Geno Smith seems to have the support of his new — star receiver — Brandon Marshall.
Marsharll showered praise upon Smith recently, telling reporters they are set to work out together.
“He has a drive and a passion that a lot of people don’t see,” Marshall told reporters Friday, per the New York Daily News.
Marshall said their relationship actually goes back a few years.
“This is pretty interesting because Geno and I, we started this weird relationship from the time he got drafted,” Marshall said. “He’s a Florida guy. My gym … it’s literally like three exits from him. We started this relationship, and it’s pretty cool to see how it develops off the field.”
