Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl run was fueled not just by the NFL’s best defense, but by a passing offense led by the Offensive Player of the Year: Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Despite playing in a low-volume pass attack, JSN still put up absurd stats: 119 catches for a league-leading
1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns. Does anyone know who was second on the team in receptions?
A.J. Barner.
Yes, Barner had 52 catches in the regular season, five more than Cooper Kupp. While the latter had more receiving yards, Barner was second in receptions and receiving touchdowns. Not bad for someone billed as a blocking tight end.
For this week’s Seahawks Reacts survey, we’re exempting JSN from the question of who will lead the team in catches. If JSN isn’t the leader in catches then either someone had a breakout season (good) or something went horribly wrong with JSN (bad). Essentially, we’re asking who comes in second place. Will it be a Cooper Kupp renaissance? Will it be Barner again? What about Rashid Shaheed in his first full season in Seattle? How about a healthy Tory Horton? There’s Elijah Arroyo in his second year, there’s Jake Bobo just because he’s Jake Bobo, and there’s “someone else” I’ve not mentioned.
