Hov is going hard to establish himself as a serious sports agent. With Victor Cruz already under the umbrella, Jay-Z now has the Jets QB Geno Smith to add to the roster. When asked how Smith feels about joining the agency, he responded:

“I think it’s just his agency. When you talk about being in New York from a standpoint of what they can do in the city, the connections that they have, I think it’s a good move. My mother and my family is comfortable with it, I’m comfortable with it. I’m just going to move on from there, not let it be a big deal, remain humble and keep focusing on football.”

There will be new opportunities for Smith being with Roc Nation but I wonder who is really running the show? Hov is not a certified agent and their first agent is Kim Miale. Miale before joining Roc Nation had only two NFL clients – both are inactive.

USA Today reports Geno Smith put on an impressive, 60-of-64 passing display before 29 of 32 NFL team evaluators at West Virginia’s pro day.

“He’s a real quiet kid who loves football, but things get turned up on the field,” Sellers told USA TODAY. “His swag is on the field. … He had a great day.”
New Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley took notice, breaking down game film with the 6-3, 220-pound quarterback for 90 minutes afterward.

Four teams have huddled with Smith this week. New Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly, owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman visited campus Monday to put Smith through a workout.

Smith met with two undisclosed teams Wednesday night and has a workout March 22 planned with the Buffalo Bills.

The Jaguars select second overall in the NFL draft, which begins April 25. The Eagles have the 4th pick and the Bills hold the eighth spot.

The Jaguars and Eagles appear open to drafting him.

“We think he’s a heck of a prospect,” Eagles senior adviser Tom Donahoe told USA TODAY Sports.

“Geno was outstanding. He’s got great velocity on the ball. He’s very accurate and he can make all the throws.”

Smith estimates at least a dozen teams have expressed interest.

“I had a private workout Monday with the Eagles that went well,” he said. “I believe I can spin the ball with the best of them. I can make all the throws. The main thing teams want to see is how do I react in the classroom — how much of the offense was I in control of.”

After a good showing at his pro day, I expect Smith to go early in the 1st round.
