Field Gulls
Amongst all the chaos after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Rams was the fact that Jaxon Smith-Njigba is now the sole franchise record holder for most receptions in a season. Prior to the 2025 season, the record was a tie between wide receivers Tyler Lockett and Smith-Njigba who each had 100 receptions (Lockett in 2020, Smith-Njigba in 2024).
Last year there was a lot more attention to this record when Smith-Njigba was chasing it down. However, with Smith-Njigba’s monster 2025 season, many fans had their eyes set on a loftier goal. Even after a few quieter weeks (if you can even call them that), Smith-Njigba does still have a shot at Calvin Johnson’s single season receiving yards NFL record. To accomplish that, Smith-Njigba would need to average 164 yards per game for the last two weeks.
However, in the meantime, Smith-Njigba and Seahawks fans alike can celebrate a franchise receptions record that Smith-Njigba has already earned, and in only fifteen games. Currently Smith-Njigba has 104 receptions on the season. However, with two more weeks to go, and a number one seed in the balance, Smith-Njigba will surely add many more receptions to that number. And soon enough, Smith-Njigba will start seeing his name in the all-time Seahawks career records books. Only in his third year, Smith-Njigba is already 10th in Seahawks history in career receptions with 267, and 12th in career receiving yards with 3,395.
