During the 2023 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected Jaxon Smith-Njigba as their first-round pick. The hamstring injury he suffered in college caused him to miss the last three games of his collegiate career in 2022.
Upon joining the Seahawks, he became their third receiver.He mostly plays in the slot, just like he did for the Ohio State Buckeyes.It was a breakout season for him last year, catching 100 passes for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns.
It will be interesting to see how he responds to being wide receiver #1 in Seattle.
