K.J. Wright on Seahawks QB competition: ‘I’m team Geno all day’

The Seattle Seahawks are roughly a month away from the start of training camp and the battle for the starting quarterback is still underway.

Geno Smith and Drew lock have been dueling it out all offseason with no new signal-caller added to the mix . . . as of yet. But the Baker-Mayfield-to-Seattle rumors continue so a three-way competition is not out of the question.

Former Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright has his favorite already.

“I’ll tell you not Baker Mayfield,” Wright told I Am Athlete Tonight on SiriusXM. “Not Drew Lock. We ain’t gonna play those games. I’m team Geno all day.”

Wright was still with the Seahawks when Smith served as Russell Wilson’s trusted backup and knows what he brings to the table.

“Geno was good. He was scout team quarterback. The dude has a cannon for an arm. He’s intellectual, you know, having those two-minute drills during practice throughout the week, the man can play.

“Just trust him, just trust Geno.”

The Seahawks’ quarterback competition will be elevated to a whole new level when the players report to training camp on July 26.
