Jaxon Smith-Njigba Runs 4.53 Unofficial Forty
2 years agoOhio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba opted not to run the 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL combine in Indianapolis. However, he ran a 4.53 unofficial 40-time at OSU's Pro Day on March 22. Smith-Njigba posted a 99th-percentile agility score at the combine, which more than makes up for the lack of sub-4.5 speed. The former Buckeye caught 95 passes for 1,606 yards and nine touchdowns sharing a field with Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave in 2021 but played in just three games during his 2022 junior season because of injury. He is viewed No. 1 wide receiver prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft class by many and will be a top-five selection in rookie dynasty drafts.
