Geno Smith texted Pete Carroll: Seahawks need to draft JSN

No matter how excited the 12’s were when the team selected wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the 2023 NFL draft, I guarantee you there was one person more excited: quarterback Geno Smith.

As a quarterback, there is not much more a man could ask for than two elite receivers, a stud young running back, and a trio of capable tight ends. Not much else, except for perhaps a third explosive receiver. According to Smith himself, he was lobbying head coach Pete Carroll to draft JSN.

Fortunately for Smith, his requests were answered emphatically.

The Seahawks offense, on paper, looks to be among the league’s more explosive units. This team should keep opposing defensive coordinators up at night with their depth, especially at the wide receiver position.

Fans could get their first glimpse at JSN in action on Thursday when the Seahawks take on the Minnesota Vikings in the first preseason game.
