WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2022 Rose Bowl MVP, Seattle Seahawks)



No. 29 Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State

Like Fleming, Smith-Njigba found himself somewhat buried on the depth chart and harmed by a shortened Big Ten season. Still, he made an impact. Smith-Njigba caught 10 passes for 49 yards and a touchdown, which was one of the better examples of body control you’ll ever see from a receiver. Like Fleming, Smith-Njigba excelled as a blocker, drawing a 82.2 run block grade.

SKULL SESSION: JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA IS PRIMED TO BREAKOUT

Feldman's subjective list is "35 college football players I hear are ready for a breakout 2021 season" and he's got JSN at No. 7.

7. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ohio State, WR: Coaches inside the program feel like the 6-foot, 197-pound sophomore from Texas is their next one — as in, their next stud wideout in the pipeline who feels like he is only now getting really cranked up. Make no mistake, it’ll primarily be Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave’s show in 2021, but good luck to the defense that tries to cover Smith-Njigba with a safety. He’s just too smooth and slick for that. He’s also gotten a lot stronger in a year after catching 10 passes for 49 yards and one TD in 2020. He is said to be a very physical blocker and will add the grit and toughness on the perimeter that OSU had a few years ago with Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell.

If JSN is remotely on the same level as Olave and Wilson, we're in for a treat. I have no reason to doubt he will be, just crazy to think about.

Yeah it's crazy to think about but totally expected for him to be that good.
Imagine him being able to work inside and outside along with MHjr, Egbuka and Fleming
