Boasting both experience and upside, the Seahawks will roll into the 2024 season with a receiving corps rivaled by few other teams in the NFL.
Led by the trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, it's easy to see why ESPN writers Mike Clay, Aaron Schatz, and Seth Walder have listed the receiving corps as the Seahawks' biggest strength rolling into the 2024 season.
"Seattle's roster has several standout units, but wideout gets the nod here over the defensive line. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett form a terrific one-two punch. We also figure to see more of Jaxon Smith-Njigba this season after the 2023 first-rounder posted a 63-628-4 receiving line. That's an elite trio, and Jake Bobo and Laviska Shenault Jr.
Adding Smith-Njigba as a first round pick last season was viewed as a luxury buy by many, but it should allow them to have a built-in replacement once Lockett, who is entering his 10th NFL season, eventually moves on., but Smith-Njigba should start to see a bigger role in the offense while the veteran takes a slight step back approaching the twilight stages of his career.
Regardless of the target share between the two of them and Metcalf looks like, the Seahawks have three talented wideouts that will catch passes from Smith and make him feel comfortable slinging the ball all the way down the field. That alone will give Seattle a chance to compete and contend for a playoff spot in the upcoming season, as long as Smith has time to get the ball to his plethora of targets.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
