Jaxon Smith-Njigba is NFL's best receiver; will Myles Garrett break sack records for season AND career?
Our Summary
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as a leading wide receiver in the NFL, surpassing Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson with 1,313 receiving yards over 11 games. Averaging 119.4 yards per game, Smith-Njigba is on track to potentially exceed Calvin Johnson's single-season record of 1,964 receiving yards. Despite the Seattle Seahawks having the league's lowest pass play percentage, Smith-Njigba has consistently outperformed defenses, recording at least 75 receiving yards in every game this season.
Smith-Njigba's success is partly attributed to the strategic use of his skills by the Seahawks' new offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak. The wide receiver leads the NFL with eight catches of 40-plus yards and has proven versatile, effectively playing different positions on the field. Last season, he made his first Pro Bowl with 100 receptions for 1,130 yards and seven touchdowns.
