Back to the Seattle Seahawks Newsfeed

Mike Macdonald just affirmed what Seahawks fans knew about Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba isn't blazingly fast, and he isn't the biggest of receivers. Maybe he is a pure slot corner whose upside is ultimately limited. He can help a team win, but he's not a true WR1.

Hardly anything of the above is factual, of course, and 12s know it. Still, most of that was what many NFL draft pundits said before the Seahawks chose JSN in the first round of the 2023 draft. As it turns out, the only thing holding Smith-Njigba back in the league was former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
