“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey
At the time I am typing this story our Seattle Seahawks are surprising a lot NFL fans with a 9-3 record with QB Sam Darnold leading the way. And his favorite target has been WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba. The young fella has been great!
JSN is 23 years old. Born in Nacogdoches,Texas. He played his college football at Ohio State. There he set records for most catches in a single game with 15 TWO TIMES! And most receiving yards in a single season with 1,606 in 2021.
He was selected 20th overall by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He played in everyone for the Seahawks games in his rookie season.
Also he became a starter in week 3 because of a injury to ex Seahawks now Steeler DK Metcalf and then he started 16 of 17 games in his 2nd season, getting 1,130 yards and tying a team record with 100 receptions. A great season. Making a name for himself for sure!!
Now fast forward to this season sports fans. Ladies and gentlemen JSN is having one hella of season so far,,,,OMG! He and QB have hooked up big time all season long so far. People are asking is he the best receiver in the NFL. Because he is having a incredible season.
And JSN loves t0 be a Seahawks too. He has said this over and over. So far Jackson has set a single season record of 1,313 yards catching the ball for the Seahawks.
He broke the record held by the before mentioned Metcalf. Of course their are many more games to go as I type this story. Jackson wants to talk about it is a team effort BUT come on ladies and gentlemen. He is having one hella of a season so far.
Can you imagine how Metcalf and even another former WR Tyler Lockett feel about seeing JSN having the season he is having. They have to shocked. But then again maybe they knew how talented this fella is. I think they knew.
Every week Darnold and JSN are teaming up in great catches. JSN is obtaining over 100 yards in catches in game after game. WOW!!
Ladies and gentlemen and sports fans I am seeing so many stories on JSN online. The sports field are noticing this fella playing here in the Pacific Northwest. I say the Pacific Northwest because at times the media talks like we are in the Antarctica for goodness sake. We are not!!
You know what? I do not have to be in the press room or at Lumen Field to see the greatness in JSN. I can be right here in my apartment watching games on my 85 in TV.
Yeah some media in the Seattle media I will keep their name nameless, have to be in the press room for Seahawks games to be scene I guess. Have to go in the locker room after the game and one dude who does a webcast, even covers the Seahawks on the road.
Yes the fella gets hella views on his You Tube ch and other social media he really does but having said that, this dude head aka ego is as big as Seattle’s Husky Stadium, T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field put together!! No joke!
Anyway back to JSN. Move over Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. JSN is now on the NFL wideout map. The young fella might be the best player at his position in the league.
As I type this article on JSN, the Seahawks beat the Vikings 26-0. In the game, JSN did not do much in the game. He had only two catches for 23 yards. His lowest total of the season so far and it ended a very long streak of obtaining 75 yards a game. Don’t worry about the Vikings game because it was ugly win.
But I am sure JSN is happy the Seahawks won the game. He is that type of fella. The Seahawks are lucky to have player like Jaxson. A very intelligent young man who has a long time to play in the NFL. And for sure he will break many Seahawks records AND NFL records.
Seahawks fans I think we have a future all time great in JSN. Hope to have Jaxson Smith-Njigba on the team god willing for years and hope he will stay with a major injury. For sure he will get hurt. Every NFL player gets hurt but let’s hope he will not suffer a major injury.
