Jaxon Smith-Njigba on pace for the NFL's first 2,000-yard receiving season
Our Summary
Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is currently leading the NFL in receiving yards this season and is on track to potentially set a new all-time record for receiving yards in a single season. Through eight games, Smith-Njigba has accumulated 948 receiving yards, averaging 118.5 yards per game. If this pace continues, he could conclude the 2025 season with 2,015 receiving yards, surpassing the current record of 1,964 yards set by Calvin Johnson in 2012. Johnson's record was achieved during a 16-game season, whereas Smith-Njigba's potential achievement benefits from the current 17-game schedule. The Seahawks' recent acquisition of wide receiver Rashid Shaheed may also play a strategic role by diverting defensive attention, potentially allowing Smith-Njigba to maintain his record-setting trajectory.
