Jaxon Smith-Njigba "Acts Like A Pro Already"
1 year agoSeattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba brings sky-high expectations with him into the NFL, especially after his college teammates Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave had huge rookie campaigns. The No. 20 overall pick is apparently built to handle those expectations, according to fellow wideout DK Metcalf. "He acts like a pro already," Metcalf told FOX Sports. "He knows how to run routes already. He's a veteran when he steps on the field and just understands defenses and route-running so that the coaches don't really have to teach him anything. He can just go out there and play and be himself." Ohio State has become known for producing NFL-ready wide receivers, so Smith-Njigba could have legitimate WR2-3 value in his debut season -- even with the stiff target competition presented by Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
