Tom Brady reveals why Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba is an unstoppable wide receiver image

Jaxon Smith-Njigba was already a promising NFL wide receiver, but this season, he proved he's pretty much unstoppable.

That included in the NFC Championship Game as the Seattle Seahawks held off the Los Angeles Rams to advance to the Super Bowl.

JSN caught 10-of-12 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown.

All season long, including Sunday night, he finds ways to be open down the field, over and over, even when the defense knows he's by far Seattle's favorite target.

Smith-Njigba also has exceptional talent at simply catching the football, too, including on a ridiculous one-handed grab along the sideline during the conference title game.

But during the broadcast on Fox, legendary quarterback Tom Brady, now Fox's top color commentator, explained what he sees that makes Smith-Njigba great.

One of JSN's special traits: his shoulder plane.

Essentially, Brady said that Smith-Njigba doesn't have a "tell."

He implied that most wide receivers give away where they're going based on how their shoulders are aligned before a route.

With JSN, his shoulders always look the same. It's one less way to predict what he's about to do.

And given his natural athleticism, smoothness and receiving talent, the fact that a defender also has no idea what Smith-Njigba is about to do next does indeed make him a pretty much unstoppable cover.
