Team: Seattle Seahawks

Position: Quarterback

HT:6-3 

WT:221


Credentials:

Comeback Player of the Year (2022)

NFL completion percentage leader (2022)

Pro bowl (2022)


Strengths:

-Can make all the throws

-Pocket game has greatly improved

-Shows more poise in the pocket

-Accuracy has improved

-Can make plays with his feet if he needs to


Weaknesses:

-Still struggles with turnovers at times

-Occasionally holds the ball too long


Final Analysis:

After an inconsistent, career backup path he was on, Geno seems to have found new life in Seattle.

His pocket game has improved; he has been more accurate, his poise, timing, and ball placement has been much better. He also has a pretty deep ball.

He still has the turnover issues here and there, and holds the ball too long sometimes, but overall, he's much more consistent than he has been his entire career.

After winning comeback player of the year and earning his first pro bowl on the backend of his career, he's an example of one I would call a late blossomer, and what happens when you don't give up.
