FOX Sports ranked New York Jets veteran Geno Smith 24th in its Week 3 starting QB rankings.
Smith is one spot ahead of Jacoby Brissett of the Arizona Cardinals and one spot behind Daniel Jones of the Indianapolis Colts.
The Jets are 1-1. They beat the Tennessee Titans in Week 1 on the road but lost to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2 at home.
Smith has started his second stint with the Jets with 462 passing yards, one passing touchdown and zero interceptions. He's completing 70.8% of his passes.
It's only two games, but it's noteworthy that Smith hasn't thrown an interception yet. After all, the West Virginia product led the NFL with 17 interceptions last season with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Smith's best seasons in the NFL came with the Seattle Seahawks in 2022 and 2023. He made the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2023 and won the 2022 AP Comeback Player of the Year Award.
Smith entered this season with 22,168 passing yards, 124 passing touchdowns and 89 career interceptions in the NFL. Heading into the Jets' Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Smith has a starting record of 43-57-0.
Smith has thrown six touchdowns and two interceptions in four career games against the Lions. He has 1,252 passing yards and a 2-2 record.
The Lions and Jets are 1-1 and coming off losses in Week 2. It will be interesting to see how Smith and Co. perform against Detroit, a team giving up 35.5 points per game. That's 31/32 in the NFL, so maybe the Jets will score a lot of points in this contest.
There are some Jets fans who want to see head coach Aaron Glenn play rookie Cade Klubnik this season. That could happen once New York is officially eliminated from the playoffs.
Klubnik went 21/34 through the air for 190 passing yards in the preseason. He had no touchdown passes and threw one interception.
Entering the 2025 college football season, Klubnik was projected to be one of the top picks in the 2026 draft, but after he and Clemson struggled, Klubnik's draft stock took a hit.
The Jets selected Klubnik with the 110th overall pick in the 2026 draft. Even though his draft fall was significant, Klubnik still has a lot of confidence in his game.
Klubnik finished the 2025 college football season with 2,943 passing yards and 16 passing touchdowns. He threw for 10,123 passing yards and 73 touchdowns in his Clemson career.
