Another 1st-round Buckeye!
Smith-Njigba’s draft status took an upturn again at the combine in March. He looked natural and fluid again while running routes and catching passes from various quarterbacks.
He repeated his crisp route running at OSU’s pro day and ran a 40-yard dash time of 4.48. Those performances likely satisfied lingering concerns some teams might have had about the health of that hamstring. Wilson, the Jets’ No. 10 pick in last year’s draft, won NFL Rookie of the Year. Olave, selected 11th by the Saints, finished fourth in that vote. Now Smith-Njigba joins a growing fraternity of OSU NFL receivers that also includes the Saints’ Michael Thomas and the Commanders’ Terry McLaurin.
