Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba Accomplishes Rare Feat Not Seen Since 1999

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba achieved a remarkable feat last Sunday against the Washington Commanders, becoming the first player since 1999 to record at least 400 receiving yards and six touchdowns through the first three games of a season. Despite the Seahawks' 33-31 loss, Smith-Njigba's performance remained impressive, hauling in ten receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns.

This accomplishment places him among an elite group in the 21st century, with Marvin Harrison being the last player to achieve similar numbers in 1999. Smith-Njigba's consistency is remarkable, as he has both scored a touchdown and accumulated over 100 receiving yards in every game this season. This exceptional performance is even more astonishing considering the Seahawks' offensive struggles, especially with backup quarterback Drew Lock seeing the majority of action due to Sam Darnold's hip injury.

The young wide receiver's resilience and skill are evident as he continues to defy expectations and maintain positive momentum for the Seahawks in Week 4.
