Seahawks star Jaxon Smith-Njigba earned AP First-Team All-Pro honors after a 1,793-yard season — bettors should consider shorter receiving lines and boosted JSN props (yards/TDs) while adjusting team totals toward Seattle’s passing attack; defensive All-Pro nods also indicate stronger lines for game totals and opponent rushing props.
Seahawks Dominate All-Pro Lists as 2025 Campaign Closes
The Seattle Seahawks finished the regular season 14-3 and secured the NFC West and the conference’s No. 1 seed. Multiple players received league-wide recognition: Jaxon Smith-Njigba earned First-Team All-Pro honors, while Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones IV, Devon Witherspoon and punter Michael Dickson were named to the Second-Team All-Pro list.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba: First-Team All-Pro and Offensive Engine
Historic Receiving Season
Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the NFL with 119 receptions and totaled a team-high 1,793 receiving yards with 10 touchdowns. He matched the league lead in big plays (27), emerging as Seattle’s primary playmaker in an offense that lacked D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett for stretches.
Role in the Offense
As Seattle’s top downfield threat, JSN became the focal point of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s passing scheme and the clear go-to target for quarterback Sam Darnold. His availability and consistency turned Seattle’s passing game into a season-long strength.
Defensive Standouts: Second-Team All-Pro Honors
Leonard Williams — Interior Power
Defensive tackle Leonard Williams posted 62 total tackles, 33 solos, nine tackles for loss and seven sacks, anchoring Seattle’s interior push and generating consistent disruption against both run and pass.
Ernest Jones IV — Tackling and Coverage
Linebacker Ernest Jones IV delivered 126 total tackles (60 solo) in 15 games, while showing strong coverage ability: a 54 passer rating allowed, seven pass breakups and five interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.
Devon Witherspoon — Elite Coverage, Missed Time
Cornerback Devon Witherspoon maintained elite coverage metrics through the season, primarily allowing short completions under 10 yards. His top-tier coverage grade was tempered by five missed games due to injury, likely impacting First-Team voting.
Michael Dickson — Special Teams Impact
Punter Michael Dickson averaged 48.0 yards on 52 punts for 2,548 yards, placing sixth in the league. He downed 20 punts inside the 20, recorded three touchbacks and forced 17 fair catches, consistently flipping field position in Seattle’s favor.
Why Some Seahawks Slid to Second-Team
Name recognition, comparative impact on voters and injury absences likely cost several Seahawk candidates First-Team spots. While statistical seasons stacked up against peers, missed games and voter tendencies kept them off the top list.
Betting Outlook and Market Implications
Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s breakout season should push down his individual receiving props lines and shorten Seattle’s passing market totals — bettors can target JSN over his seasonal or game receiving yards/TD props and consider higher-than-average target-share markets. Defensive All-Pro recognition for Williams, Jones and Witherspoon suggests Seattle’s defense will continue to influence opponent rushing yards and team total lines; consider unders on opponent rushing yards or game totals when Seattle’s front seven is active. Michael Dickson’s elite punting supports wagering on lower average starting field position for opponents and could factor into live-game prop strategies.
