Congratulations are in order for Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. On Tuesday morning it was revealed the second year star would be receiving his first trip to the Pro Bowl! JSN will be replacing Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin who has bowed out due to an injury.
JSN joins his fellow 2023 first round classmate Devon Witherspoon in the Pro Bowl, as well as defensive lineman Leonard Williams. Big Cat himself was announced as a Pro Bowler on Monday, replacing Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter.

JSN’s inclusion to the Pro Bowl this year keeps a shockingly impressive streak alive for the Seahawks. This is now the 14th consecutive year Seattle has had at least three representatives participating in… or named to… the Pro Bowl. The caveat here being the two Super Bowl years where no Seahawk participated as they were preparing for, well, you know, the Super Bowl.
The 2024 campaign was a breakout year for JSN, who set new career-best marks in every category. JSN hauled in 100 receptions (tying Tyler Lockett’s single-season franchise reception record) for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. His emergence reminded everyone why the Seahawks made him the first wide receiver selected in the 2023 NFL draft.
