How does Seattle Seahawks<\/a> wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba stack up against the best players in the NFL under the age of 25?<\/p>\n

According to Check The Mic\u2019s Sam Monson,<\/a> Smith-Njigba ranks No. 1 overall above all other players in the league under 25 years old.<\/p>\n

Smith-Nijgba ranked ahead of Patriots<\/a> quarterback Drake Maye (No. 2), Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> offensive lineman Joe Alt (No. 3), Chicago Bears<\/a> QB Caleb Williams (No. 4) and Detroit Lions<\/a> running back Jahmyr Gibbs (No. 5).<\/p>\n

The Seahawks<\/a>\u2019 superstar receiver was lauded above an elite group of players. Maye was the runner-up for the AP NFL MVP award in 2025. Alt allowed only one sack and seven pressures last season and established himself as one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Williams emerged as one of the best players in the NFL last season, having recorded 3,942 passing yards on the year. Few players have been able to rack up as many scrimmage yards as Gibbs over the last two seasons, as he\u2019s twice gone for over 1,800 yards in that department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
