Jaxon Smith-Njigba proving Seahawks trading DK Metcalf was the right move

Jaxon Smith-Njigba came so close to doing something on Sunday that no Seattle Seahawks receiver has ever managed. Not Largent or Lockett. Not Baldwin or Blades. By gaining 96 yards through the air, JSN came up just four yards short of becoming the first Seahawk receiver to begin a season with three consecutive 100 yard receiving games.

He joins his former teammate DK Metcalf in coming so close. Back in 2020, Seattle’s prior WR1 missed by just 13 total yards, opening with games of 95, 92, and 110. Smith-Njigba came even closer.

JSN opened the 2025 season with nine catches for 124 yards against San Francisco.
