Matt Harmon on Jaxon Smith-Njigba

VideoWhat makes JSN so SPECIALCaptured July 21, 2026

From the video

To me, the area where he was just like uncoverable and and probably the best receiver in the NFL from a route running perspective was just in that intermediate area. Uh Digs Digs and out routes, like those breaking 90° routes. Dig routes were 19.9% of his sampled routes, 7.9% uh for the out route. Success rates, 86% on the dig, 88.2% on the out route... he's the best liar in the NFL.
