Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Turns out he's pretty good.

Mike Macdonald has Seattle's defense playing with more speed and force than it has in years, but @softy206.bsky.social is just as impressed with the young coach's confidence and resolve at the franchise's helm.

Jacson is wary of Sam Darnold's fit and future in Seattle. He chopped up his concerns with Gregg Bell in our latest episode:
July 7, 2025 at 2:11 PM
"It looks like Macdonald thinks he has found his Kyle Hamilton 2.0."

Gregg Bell thinks rookie DB Nick Emmanwori can make a real impact for Seattle's defense in 2025 👀
