It’s no secret that the Seattle Seahawks’ passing attack was powered by Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2025.
However, the extent to which Smith-Njigba shouldered the load in the passing game for Seattle was astounding.
Smith-Njigba accounted for 62 percent of the receiving yards that Seattle’s wide receivers produced last season. He trailed only Zay Flowers, who accounted for 62.2 percent of the receiving yards that the Baltimore Ravens’ wide receivers produced in 2025. Smith-Njigba led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,793.
The Seahawks also had former first-team All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp last season, as well as Rashid Shaheed, who Seattle traded for nine weeks into the season. Kupp went for 593 REC yards in 2025. Shaheed recorded 188 REC yards in nine games played for the Seahawks.
Smith-Njigba’s impact on Seattle’s offense was a major catalyst in the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl at the end of last season. He took home the AP Offensive Player of the Year award in 2025.
The Seahawks drafted Kansas WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr. with the No. 199 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Henderson Jr. went for 766 REC yards in 2025.
However, save a resurgent season from Kupp in 2026, more of the same is to be expected from Smith-Njigba next season. Nevertheless, the Seahawks have a great deal of talent to work with in their receiving corp heading into next season.
