Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba Emerges as Offensive Standout in Training Camp
8 Aug
Summary
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba listed as Seahawks' breakout performer in training camp
- Smith-Njigba consistently the team's best offensive player over the past two weeks
- With Metcalf gone, Smith-Njigba expected to be main beneficiary of increased targets

As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for the upcoming NFL season, one player has emerged as a standout performer during the team's training camp: wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
According to ESPN insider Brady Henderson, the third-year receiver has been consistently impressive, with his highlight-reel plays becoming almost routine. Henderson notes that Smith-Njigba has "reached that level of excellence" and has been the Seahawks' best offensive player over the past two weeks.
The Seahawks' offense is set to undergo some changes this season, with the departure of star wide receiver DK Metcalf. This shift is expected to benefit Smith-Njigba, who has shown the ability to win from both the slot and the outside. Henderson suggests that Smith-Njigba's versatility may be "more of a necessity this season" as the Seahawks look to fill the void left by Metcalf.

With Cooper Kupp joining the team as the new WR2, the Seahawks' passing attack is poised to be a focal point of their offense. Smith-Njigba is expected to be the primary beneficiary, as he is set to see a significant increase in targets and opportunities to make an impact.
If Smith-Njigba can build on his impressive training camp performance and become a consistent playmaker for the Seahawks, the team could emerge as a surprise playoff contender in the NFC West.
