Everyone knows Jaxon Smith-Njigba is getting the ball. Defenses still can’t stop him

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to dominate opposing defenses despite heavy coverage, commanding a league-high 37.9 percent target share through the first three games of the season. The reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year currently leads the league with 405 receiving yards and six touchdowns, maintaining an extraordinary efficiency of 4.35 yards per route.

Teammates and head coach Mike Macdonald praised Smith-Njigba's short-area agility, route running, and reliable hands, which have allowed him to excel with both Sam Darnold and backup Drew Lock at quarterback. While questions remain regarding whether this historic pace is sustainable over a full season, the Seahawks offense continues to funnel opportunities toward the 24-year-old standout.
