Former Ohio State Wide Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba Focal Point of Overhauled Seahawks Passing Attack in 2025

A lot has changed about Seattle’s offense since the end of the 2024 season, but one piece still returns in 2025: Its leading receiver.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba paced the Seahawks in receiving yards last year, racking up 1,130 of them with six touchdowns. He tied Seattle’s franchise record for receptions with 100.

D.K. Metcalf, who led the Seahawks in receiving yards in 2020, 2022 and 2023 before trailing Smith-Njigba with 992 in 2024, is now a Pittsburgh Steeler. Tyler Lockett, who led in 2021 and collected 8,594 yards in 10 seasons in Seattle, is now a Tennessee Titan.
