As Geno Smith is busy trying to develop chemistry with his new teammates, the Raiders posted a little glimpse of him at work.

In a video posted by the Raiders and then shared by the WVU football program on social media, Smith can be seen dropping back and hitting tight ends Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas. The Raiders added “Run It Up” as the caption of the video.

Smith was officially introduced by Las Vegas in early April after being awarded a new contract with the Raiders.

โ€œSo excited to get to work. I canโ€™t wait to get to work and see all you guys. Weโ€™re prepared to go out there and win. Canโ€™t wait to see all you guys,โ€ said Smith in a video posted by the Raiders on social media.

Smithโ€™s new deal is a two-year extension that’s worth up to $85.5 million and comes with $65.5 million in guaranteed money.

The Raiders traded for Smith after Seattle decided to go in another younger direction and eventually brought in Sam Darnold.

In his final season in Seattle, Smith threw for 4,320 yards while completing 70.4% of his passes. Smith also ran for 272 yards on the ground. He scored 23 total touchdowns to go along with 15 interceptions, his second highest total from a single season after his rookie year with the Jets.

Smith is now reunited with Pete Carroll, who was hired as the Raiders head coach earlier in the offseason.
