Sam Darnold identifies JSN as top target in Seahawks’ season opener

In the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 1 clash, quarterback Sam Darnold quickly showcased his emerging chemistry with rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (JSN). Darnold’s decision to lean heavily on JSN in the season opener has set the tone for their partnership as the team looks to establish a potent aerial attack.

Darnold’s early connection with JSN

From the first drive, it was clear that Darnold had a special rapport with JSN. The two connected multiple times, demonstrating a level of trust that is crucial for success in the NFL. Darnold acknowledged that JSN’s ability to find soft spots in the defense made him an easy choice for targets throughout the game.

“His route running is exceptional,” Darnold said. “He knows how to get open and create separation, which makes my job easier. I feel comfortable throwing to him.”

JSN’s impact on the offense

As the game progressed, JSN’s influence became even more evident. He not only secured key receptions but also displayed a knack for making plays after the catch. This ability will be vital as Darnold and the Seahawks aim to build momentum moving forward.

JSN’s performance didn’t go unnoticed, with fans and commentators alike praising his ability to step up in pivotal moments. His agility and speed provided Darnold with a reliable outlet, allowing the Seahawks to maintain offensive rhythm.

Looking ahead for the Seahawks

As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen how Darnold and JSN will evolve as a duo. Their Week 1 connection could signal a breakout season for the rookie receiver and a renewed sense of hope for the Seahawks’ passing game. With Darnold at the helm and JSN emerging as his go-to target, Seattle fans have plenty to be excited about as they anticipate the next matchups ahead.
