Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba was one of the best players in the first week of training camp. "He's really a gifted athlete," HC Pete Carroll said of the rookie. "Timing, hand-eye (coordination), body control, extraordinary natural quickness, and he makes things look really easy. I couldn't imagine him not being part of the mix right from the beginning. It just comes too easy for him. We're looking for the spots we can put him in, how to move him around, and see how much he can handle. There's nothing that's holding him back. He's hitting it off with Geno really well right now." If you've read our scouting report on Smith-Njigba, his impressive play is no surprise. Despite stiff target competition from WRs D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, Smith-Njigba is certainly capable of scoring as at least a WR3 this year.
