4. Geno Smith

Percy Harvin’s new teammate Geno Smith is next on this list.

Smith’s saga as a diva started right after the New York Jets drafted him. Smith thought he was going to be a Top 10 pick. He thought he might even be the first overall pick. Instead, E.J. Manuel was the only quarterback chosen in the first round, and Smith was chosen in the second round.

One would think Smith would use that as a chip on his shoulder and that he would work hard to prove the naysayers wrong, right? Not at all. What Smith did was blame his agents, and he fired them.

This season, as the Jets continue to slide, Smith has been in rare form. In the Jets’ game against the Detroit Lions in Week 4, a group of Jets fans were heckling Smith. He proceeded to drop the F-bomb on those fans. He was later fined $12,000 for those words.

The night before he struggled and ultimately got benched in a 31-0 loss to the San Diego Chargers, Smith missed a team meeting, claiming he was thrown off by the three hour time difference between New York and California. Where was he while the meeting was taking place? At the movies.

Not moves befitting a leader, huh?
