New Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith is doing damage control after a rocky start to his NFL career. First, he slipped to the second round of the NFL Draft. Then he promptly parted ways with his agents. In an interview with USA Today, Smith addressed recent anonymous criticisms about his game. "I don't worry about what people say -- my skin is pretty thick," Smith said. "I've never been in trouble." The quarterback also denied a Yahoo.com report that he was more interested in texting and tweeting than meeting with at least one NFL team prior to the draft. "That's not true," he said. "I got strong remarks from all the teams I visited with. ... I couldn't care less what's coming out in the media because I know what's true." Smith also said that his draft-day free fall from a sure-fire first-round pick to ultimately going to the Jets with the 39th selection wasn't why he fired his agents.
