RENTON, Wash. -- There is no shortage of ways to contextualize the video game-like numbers that Jaxon Smith-Njigba has put up over the Seahawks' 2-1 start, but we'll begin here: Seattle's All-Pro wideout is only the second player in NFL history with at least 400 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns over the first three games of a season, according to ESPN Research.
Marvin Harrison Sr. did that with the Indianapolis Colts in 1999. Smith-Njigba joined him last Sunday, when he caught 10 passes for 128 yards and two more scores in the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders.
"He is so special," Seahawks safety Julian Love said. "I get home from the game and my wife's like, 'Wow, so they really can't cover Jaxon.' If she's mentioning something about football, that's how you know it's real."
