Super Bowl LX Spotlight – Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 2025 season marked a full-blown arrival into the NFL’s elite, showcasing the polished route-running and big-moment poise that made him a first-round talent. As the focal point of Seattle’s passing attack, JSN became the engine of a dynamic Seahawks offense, consistently winning from the slot and outside while punishing defenses that tried to play him straight up. Week after week, he delivered chain-moving receptions and explosive plays, finishing the regular season as the likely Offensive Player of the Year.

In the Divisional Round of the playoffs, the Seahawks took such a large lead early that the passing game wasn’t needed much, but he was still able to find the endzone. The NFC Championship is where he was uncoverable, grabbing 10 catches for 153 yards and a score.
