Jets Geno Smith Predicted to Lead NFL in Undesirable Category
There aren't a lot of people that seem to believe in New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith.
Veteran quarterback Geno Smith and the New York Jets are optimistic that a move by the quarterback will benefit both parties. However, oddsmakers have a different view - they predict Smith will lead the NFL in interceptions. This is not a favorable outcome for Jets fans. Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk reports that Smith is the betting favorite to be the leader in interceptions.
Despite his history of leading the league in interceptions while with the Las Vegas Raiders (17 in 2025), Jets (15 in 2024) and Seattle Seahawks (11 in 2024), this trend may continue due to the Jets' expected poor performance this season. Playing catch up could lead to more passes thrown by Smith in crucial moments. Should he struggle, the Jets might bench him, preventing him from leading the league again.
However, the Jets' backup quarterbacks - Cade Klubnik (a fourth-round pick), Brady Cook, and Bailey Zappe - are less promising. Klubnik might be a potential option later in the season, but his chances are slim due to his low draft pick status. Smith, a second-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, has a career record of 22,168 yards, 124 touchdowns, and 89 interceptions.
