Geno Smith could be facing some unexpected competition.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll went viral this week for the nifty throws that he made at training camp. The Seahawks posted a compilation video to Twitter/X of Carroll slinging it to the team’s receivers. Carroll uncorked some impressive throws down the field and even had a couple of nice moments of rolling out to his right and throwing across his body.

Sure, some of those clips featured worse edits than a Tommy Wiseau movie. But you would be hard-pressed to find another soon-to-be 72-year-old like Carroll with that kind of a cannon.

Quite frankly, we didn’t know that Carroll had it in him. Usually you only see him throwing hand-warmers on the field.
