Jaxon Smith-Njigba is ready to take the leap into stardom and that includes being the new leader of the Seahawks' WR room in 2025

Jaxon Smith-Njigba lands in A to Z Sports' top 20 WR rankings 

19. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks

"In his second NFL season, the slot receiver fully positioned himself as a primary target for the Seattle Seahawks, outproducing DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. He had more volume and a higher average depth of target (from 6.4 to 7.7 yards), even though his efficiency in terms of yards per route run didn't improve. Now that Metcalf has been traded and Lockett is no longer on the roster, JSN will have an even bigger role. How he and Cooper Kupp will fit together is an intriguing question for the offense. It's also a big challenge going from Geno Smith to Sam Darnold at quarterback." - Wendell Ferreira

This year, the Seahawks' offense will feature multiple new faces, including QB Sam Darnold and WR Cooper Kupp. The real X-factor on this offense, though, is Smith-Njigba. He has the chance to take the next step in his career and become a bona fide number one WR for Seattle. This year, he lands at number 19, but there's a world where a year from now, we are looking at a top 10 WR in the NFL. 

If he takes that leap, it could help the risks the Seahawks made this offseason pay off massively. It would also help the fan base cope with the loss of a fan favorite player like DK Metcalf. If you want me to make a personal prediction, I think we see Smith-Njigba record over 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns. This would have him in line to be an All-Pro and as I said earlier a consensus top 10 WR in the NFL.
