Seahawks QB Geno Smith dodges answering Russell Wilson-inspired question
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith wasn't about to fall for the bait on a Russell Wilson-inspired question during Thursday press conference.
With the Seahawks in Munich for Sunday's international game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a reporter asked Smith about his high-knee habits during long flights.
The question, of course, is in response to former Seahawks quarterback Wilson's recent high-knee fiasco on his international flight to London with the Denver Broncos.
Smith, though, artfully dodged the prompt and said he saves his high knees for the field.
Smith is the NFL's leading candidate for Comeback Player of the Year and has the Seahawks at 4-3 going into the second half of the season.
His ability to steady the Seahawks after Wilson's departure has earned plenty of comparisons for how Wilson's time with Seattle ended.
However, it looks like Smith is going to take the high road on the high knees questions and keep his focus on Sunday's game in Germany with the Bucs.
