Seattle Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba Ascends to WR1 Throne, Browns’ Myles Garrett Chasing Sack Records

SEATTLE, WA – Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the NFL’s new top receiver, according to NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks. The Seattle Seahawks wideout has surpassed standouts like Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson, leading the league with 1,313 receiving yards through 11 games. Smith-Njigba is on pace to break Calvin Johnson’s single-season receiving record. Even more impressive, he’s thriving on a run-first team. Brooks lauds Smith-Njigba’s route-running, versatility, and hands. The Seahawks’ offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, has utilized Smith-Njigba’s vertical threat effectively.

In Cleveland, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is on a historic pace of his own. With 18 sacks in the first 11 games, including 14 in the last five, Garrett is on track to shatter the single-season sack record. Brooks notes Garrett’s Hall of Fame potential, comparing him to Julius Peppers. The analyst believes Garrett’s combination of athleticism, technique, and relentless motor gives him a legitimate shot at surpassing Bruce Smith’s all-time sack record of 200. Brooks, a former player who played with legendary pass rushers, knows an all-timer when he sees one.
