It took eight years, but the Seahawks finally found a non-quarterback who can complete a trick play pass.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is first on the Seattle Seahawks in receptions, and now he’s first in yards per attempt as a quarterback. In the second quarter of Seattle’s 34-14 win over the Atlanta Falcons, the second-year wide receiver caught a backwards pass from Geno Smith, then threw it deep down the field to a leaping DK Metcalf for 35 yards. By no means will that go down as a great decision or terrific style points for Smith-Njigba, but all that matters is that it went to the correct team.
I’m going to throw the ball and make a play,” Smith-Njigba said in the post-game press conference. JSN is the first Seahawks non-quarterback to complete a pass since Jon Ryan in 2017... on a fake field goal that went for -4 yards. He’s the first Seahawks receiver to complete a pass since Doug Baldwin threw a touchdown to Russell Wilson in 2016.
