Summary

Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seattle Seahawks has been ranked No. 11 in ESPN's NFL 100 list for 2026. Despite his impressive performance in the 2025 season, where he was the AP Offensive Player of the Year and led the league with 1,793 receiving yards, he did not make the top 10. ESPN's ranking comes as he has started the 2026 season strong, with 405 receiving yards in three games, contributing to the Seahawks' current 2-1 record. Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, who is expected to bounce back from a down year, occupies the 10th spot on the list.
