Smith's career is a testament to resilience. His 2022 season stands as one of the most dramatic turnarounds in NFL history: he went from a journeyman backup to leading the league in completion percentage, earning a Pro Bowl nod, and winning Comeback Player of the Year. That season, he became the first quarterback in Seahawks history to post a completion percentage above 69% in a season (minimum 300 attempts). His 4,282 passing yards that year were a career high, and his 30 touchdown passes were the second-most in franchise history at the time. Smith's ability to bounce back after being written off by multiple teams makes his story unique among modern QBs.
