All the latest on Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba including news, stats, records & history.
In 2025, Jaxon Smith-Njigba exploded into a superstar wide receiver, leading the NFL in receiving yards (1,793) and finding the end zone 10 times. He helped the Seahawks win the franchise's second Super Bowl and won the Offensive Player of the Year award.
While JSN lacks explosive straight-line speed, he possesses exceptional acceleration in tight areas and a knack for finding soft spots in coverage, which makes him elite in the slot. The primary criticism of the 24-year-old is that he lacks the speed and size to be a top-tier weapon on the outside.
In March of this year, JSN signed a record-breaking $168.6 million deal, making him the highest-paid offensive non-quarterback in the NFL and surpassing Chase's record-setting $161 million contract
