What happened: Seattle's top training camp storyline this summer centers on whether Jaxon Smith-Njigba can follow up a record-breaking season. It is one of the first questions the Seahawks have to answer before padded practices even begin.

Why it matters: Treating last season as a peak Smith-Njigba has to somehow replicate undersells him. A receiver who already broke franchise or personal records once has shown he can produce at that level, so betting against a repeat or an improvement misreads what he actually is heading into 2026.
