N.Y. Jets QB Geno Smith Signs With Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports Agency

New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith announced, on Wednesday, that he had signed with Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports Agency as his representation, according to USA Today.

Smith picked an unknown agent Kimberly Miale as his contract agent, but due to Jay-Z not being certified by the NFL Players Association, Miale won't be able to handling all of Smith's contract negotiations.

"Not that big of a role. It's just the agency," Smith said when asked if Jay-Z was a factor, though few will believe the claim after seeing an Instagram photo of the two. "When you're talking about being in New York from the standpoint of what they can do through the city, all the connections they have, I think it's a good move," Smith went on to say.

Smith went on to say that his family is cool with the move he had [picking Jay-Z's company to represent him], but his main focus is stealing that starting quarterback job away from Mark Sanchez.

NFL Team Claims That Geno Smith Is A "Spoiled Brat"

According to a report, the reason why many NFL teams passed up on West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was due mostly to the fact that he acted like a "spoiled brat" before the 2013 NFL Draft.

It's unknown which team  made the claim, but a source is saying that it was a 10-top draft team who claimed that they thought Smith was a diva. Also an NFC scout went as far as to say that Smith [who was drafted in the 2nd round by the New York Jets] would have a hard time with the New York crowds. 

"He's going to have a hard time in New York," the NFC scout said. "Right now, he's coming off as a spoiled, pampered brat." 

According to an Yahoo Sports article, Smith spent most of his time on his phone calling/texting people during team meetings leading up to the draft, and when asked about his character Smith said that who he is and how he plays speaks for itself. 

Yeah... a real diva for you.
