The talented Ohio State Buckeyes receiver has all the tools to succeed in the NFL.
The Seahawks have two of the NFL’s most talented pass catchers in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, but the latter isn’t getting any younger, and the former is about as pure of an X-receiver as you can find in the pros. Jaxon Smith-Njigba ran more than 80% of his routes out of the slot, according to, and he looks like he will likely be cast similarly as a pro.
The Ohio State pro day is scheduled for Wednesday, and we may get a much clearer picture of where Smith-Njigba will land in the draft, as he is expected to run the 40-yard dash. Again, I don’t invest that much stock in this alone, but I believe that a solid performance could cement his status as the best receiver in this class, at least in the eyes of scouts. Regardless of how fast he runs today, though, I see a talent that the Seahawks can’t afford to pass up.
