NFL analysts snub pair of Seattle Seahawks stars

   

Three Seattle Seahawks made the Pro Bowl, either as initial nods or as replacements. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and cornerback Devon Witherspoon were among that group, but continue to be left off other top player rankings.

Despite leading the NFL in nearly every slot-receiving category, Smith-Njigba did not land on the Pro Football Focus top 101 list for the 2024 season after replacing Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin at the Pro Bowl. Witherspoon didn't either, even though he earned a primary nod.

Smith-Njigba finished 12th in the league in receiving yards (1,130) and tied Tyler Lockett's franchise record for catches in a season (100). His numbers in the slot were unrivaled across the league, including piling up 993 of his receiving yards when lining up there pre-snap.

Fourteen receivers made the list over Smith-Njigba, with Baltimore Ravens receiver Zay Flowers being the lowest-ranked at the position (95th). Flowers totaled 74 catches for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.
