Twitter reaction to Jaxon Smith-Njigba being selected by the Seattle Seahawks

Although it took longer than many expected,Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was selected by the Seattle Seahawks with the No. 20 selection of the NFL draft.

He was the first receiver taken and goes to a team he can help immediately. Smith-Njigba will line up opposite one of the most physically imposing receivers in the game, DK Metcalf, and with an all-around pass-catcher, Tyler Lockett. He will be catching passes from quarterback Geno Smith, who is coming off a career year.
