That one time Kyle Shanahan forgot about Jaxon Smith-Njigba
The 49ers head coach saw the Seahawks receiver at a Pro Day and forgot his name. His GM had to remind him.
The San Francisco 49ers are getting ready for Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks in what is the most important game of the season thus far. If you take the rosters and make a list of the top 10 players between the two of them, Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba would definitely be on that list.
Turns out, he was on Shanahan’s radar for a brief moment in 2021.
During his Friday press conference, Shanahan repeated a story about when he got his first glimpse of Smith-Njigba—when the wide receiver was playing at Ohio State. 2021 was the year the 49ers traded three first-round picks and change to move up to pick No. 3 in the 2021 NFL Draft. While the 49ers ultimately went with Trey Lance, Buckeye quarterback Justin Fields was seen as a distant possibility.

Seahawks-49ers NFL Week 5 predictions: Jaxon Smith-Njigba will dominate again
The Seattle Seahawks scraped by the Los Angeles Chargers with a narrow 7-point win last week and now turn to their toughest test of the season. Their NFC West rival, the San Francisco 49ers, will come to town this week in what looks to be a narrow contest, with FanDuel Sportsbook listing the Seahawks as three-point favorites.
Let’s take a look at what it will take for the Seahawks to reassert their divisional dominance on Sunday.
I’m well aware it’s a little comical to suggest that Seahawks’ star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will have a “bounce back” game after he posted 76 yards on five catches last week. However, the statistical performance was below the extremely high standard he has set in 2026, and the offense felt it. That should change this week as I guarantee Sam Darnold and offensive coordinator Brian Fleury will have their minds set on getting JSN the ball more, especially considering how he dominated the 49ers last season, totaling 227 yards and a touchdown. Not to mention the 49ers are dealing with several secondary injuries, making Smith-Njigba a prime target for an impressive day.
