Brandon Marshall has revealed that he cannot wait to work with quarterback Geno Smith at the New York Jets.
The 30-year-old was traded to the AFC East side by the Chicago Bears last week after becoming disgruntled with life at the club.
Marshall has revealed that he had built up a relationship with Smith before his move to the Jets and is now eager to develop their understanding ahead of the 2015 season.
"He has a drive and a passion that a lot of people don't see," Marshall told reporters.
"This is pretty interesting because Geno and I, we started this weird relationship from the time he got drafted. He's a Florida guy. My gym it's literally like three exits from him. We started this relationship, and it's pretty cool to see how it develops off the field.
"So now I get traded, and when this stuff starts happening, we started communicating. We both decided it would probably be cool to get together and work out for the rest of the off-season and try to get other guys down so we can start building that chemistry."
Marshall recorded 61 receptions for 721 yards and eight touchdowns in the 2014 season.
