The Seattle Seahawks, after missing the playoffs for ii years in a row, ar prepared to add up indorse this flavor with a solid championship-winning roster. Having finished with a 10-7 record last season, the team is aiming to do much better this year.
Coming off a stirring season with the Minnesota Vikings, Sam Darnold is in line to take over Geno Smith’s quarterback spot as Cooper Kupp travels north following several seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. It leaves wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in a pole position to lead the Seahawks offense.
Recently, in an interview on The Pivot, Jaxon Smith-Njigba said that he's ready for the challenge.
"I feel like these guys don't know for real. ... I want to let them know... That I'm proving myself right," Jaxon Smith-Njigba said. "Every single day, I put the work in. I trust it. Time to shine.”
In the 2024-25 season, Smith-Njigba caught 63 passes for 628 yards and four touchdowns. He also had 100 receptions for 1,130 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. It earned him a first-time trip to the Pro Bowl. This year, the expectations are bound to be higher.
