Is the Seattle Seahawks' receiver trio of D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba the NFL's best?
Receiver is becoming more and more of a premium position in the pass-happy modern NFL, a trend the Seattle Seahawks are well aware of., both Pro Bowl-caliber wideouts. Then in last year's draft, the Seahawks turned that duo into a trio by drafting Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round.
The question is: is Seattle's receiver trio the best in the league? According to former Seahawks running back Robert Turbin, the answer to that question is a definitive "yes." “First of all, we already know DK , it’s no secret. Three out of the last four seasons over 1,000 yards receiving. Tyler Lockett over 1,000 yards four out of the last five ,"“Then we get to last year’s rookie, Jaxon Smith-Njigba. At the start of the season they couldn’t get him going. Didn’t even know how to get him the ball first. They were throwing swing screens to him, trying to get him the ball in the fly sweeps and they finally decided ‘Hey, let him play wide receiver.
While the Seahawks' trio may not match those others in terms of peak talent, there is an argument that their trio is the deepest of the bunch. If all three receivers stay healthy, and Smith-Njigba makes the expected second-year jump, then perhaps more fans will agree with Turbin's analysis.
