Seahawks Add College Football's Best Receiver, Now Boast Top WR Group

With the addition of Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the first receiver taken in the draft, the Seattle Seahawks now possess a formidable receiving trio alongside DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
Smith-Njigba believes he, Metcalf, Lockett, and quarterback Geno Smith will "light it up" together in the Seahawks' offense.
Smith-Njigba is expected to fill the slot receiver role, where he spent most of his time at Ohio State, allowing Metcalf and Lockett to remain outside.
The Seahawks are poised to contend in the NFC after an excellent draft and the retention of key players like Geno Smith, who had a strong first season as the starter.
Any lingering effects of a hamstring injury that limited Smith-Njigba last year are not expected to be an issue as he showed good speed at his pro day.
