After having a disappointing career with the New York Jets, he’s found his way in Seattle.
With two talented receivers in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, it’s giving Smith the players he never had with the Jets.
They are the deep threats which are helping him this season with his passes of 20+ yards.
His 27 passes of 20+ yards are his best since his 2014 season when he had 33.
However, this success comes from the surrounding team, as they help him excel with the Seattle Seahawks.
From coaching to teammates, Smith has all the tools he needs for success in the NFL.
His success on deep passes isn’t his only successful thing this season, as he’s also having a career season.
With his completion percentage through the roof, he’s showing major improvements since his days as a starter with the Jets.
All he needed was the right coaching and the right players around him.
While many never saw Smith as a top-tier quarterback, he’s proving those people wrong with his amazing 2022 season.
