How Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith is related to NFL QB Geno Smith

Ohio State freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is one of college football’s true rising stars.

Did you know great football runs in his family?

Jeremiah Smith’s cousin is Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who attended the recent Ohio State-Oregon game to support his relative.

The elder Smith has been in the NFL since 2013, and his cousin figures to join the NFL once he declares for the draft.

This is a really cool family connection, as Geno Smith has turned into one of the NFL’s better quarterbacks and Jeremiah Smith is on track to eventually be one of the NFL’s best wide receivers once he joins the league.

Maybe they’ll play together one day? Who knows!

Geno Smith is in the house to cheer on his cousin, Ohio State's star freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.
