Jackson Smith and Jig but had a disappointing rookie season but a broken wrist and coaching were to blame.
Seattle used three wide receiver sets at a low rate despite drafting JSN in the first round and his average depth of target ranked 95th among wide receivers.
In fact, he had by far the highest target percentage behind the line of scrimmage among all white outs.
But JSN figures to be a much bigger part of an improved Seahawks offense in 2024 led by aggressive new OC Ryan Grubb, Tyler Lockett enters the year dealing with the knee injury and Smith and Jig but was a standout college star.
