We need to have a little bit of positivity and excitement through these past few weeks of football. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has thankfully stepped up to the plate and is showcasing why he was the first receiver off the board in this year’s NFL Draft.

The longest offensive play from either team in last Thursday’s lopsided Seahawks vs. contest came courtesy of the former Ohio State star.
