Seahawks QB Geno Smith dodges answering Russell Wilson-inspired question

By Cory Woodroof | Last updated 11/10/22

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.

Geno Smith was asked (by a non-Seattle media person, btw) if he did any high knees on the Seahawks’ 12 1/2-hour flight here to Munich. He’s too smart to answer that.
