At this time last year, Smith-Njigba was facing questions about his transition from full-time slot work to a more perimeter-oriented role under new Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. A year later, Smith-Njigba has an OPOY award and a Super Bowl ring, plus a spot on the top 10 of the single-season receiving list. He even led the NFL in receiving yards from the perimeter (1,366), after leading in slot yardage (956) the year before. Smith-Njigba did all that in an offense ranked 29th in pass attempts, accounting for 44.1 percent of Seattle's receiving yards and a 32.6 percent target share (both league highs) during the regular season. He led the league in receptions (16) and yardage (614) on passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield, and he also had the most catches (43) and yards (712) on throws in the range of 10-19 yards. His mark of 3.85 yards per route run was second best over the past decade, slightly ahead of Puka Nacua's 3.80 YPRR. The magnitude of Smith-Njigba's third-year breakout -- on the heels of a strong second season -- places him safely among the real-life elite at his position. There is some risk Seattle's offense takes a step back in the absence of Kubiak and RB Kenneth Walker, but that might also be a scenario in which QB Sam Darnold has to throw more passes and Smith-Njigba thus adds route volume to offset the high likelihood of efficiency regression.
