Finding Pro Bowl, top-of-the-league receivers in every direction he looked during Week 3’s showdown between the Seahawks and Dolphins, second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba certainly wasn’t short on inspiration — nor short crossing routes, for that matter. A must-know name on the NFL’s No. 1-ranked passing offense through seven weeks, Smith-Njigba offered his pleasantries by getting within his star quarterback’s line of sight on a drag route, turning a modest snag into a chain-moving 18-yard catch-and-run. Providing a steady hand in Seattle’s dominant, all-around 24-3 victory over Miami on Sept. 22, 2024, Smith-Njigba seized his opportunities, recording three receptions (on three targets) for 39 yards, helping guide the Seahawks’ flawless 3-0 start.
