Why Jaxon Smith-Njigba believes the slot receiver position is evolving in NFL Draft

As soon as upon a time referring to an NFL extensive receiver as a “slot man” appeared like a demerit of kinds. Whereas understanding of the center is hardly a simple factor the implication was that the participant in query didn’t have the expertise (or bodily dominance) to win outdoors.

Trying on the high extensive receiver on this yr’s draft class in Ohio State WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, there are numerous who’ve characterised him as any individual who solely does his work within the slot. We are able to sit right here and preach on what JSN will do on the NFL degree or we might simply ask him about it level clean.

Let’s do the second factor!

Because of our mates at Tide we have been very lucky to have the ability to communicate with Jaxon Smith-Njigba on Wednesday afternoon, simply in the future earlier than his life adjustments without end. We clearly mentioned the pending draft, that he would take pleasure in taking part in for any NFL workforce, and the way he feels that the present recreation is altering to some extent the place matchups must be gained out of the slot and you can’t simply deal with the place possible like groups have prior to now.

Quite a lot of present mock drafts appear to suppose that JSN will wind up with the Inexperienced Bay Packers and in the event that they spend a first-round choose on a large receiver for the primary time in without end simply days after buying and selling away Aaron Rodgers, properly, it could be one of many funniest issues ever.

As a Dallas Cowboys fan this hypothetical enrages me, although. Please discover a method to hold Jaxon in DFW, Cowboys. Please.
