Super Bowl LX: 6 Christians playing in the big game
4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Seahawks star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who broke out this season, recording over 1,700 receiving yards on his way to a first-team All-Pro selection, includes the words “Follower of Christ” in the biography on his X profile. The pinned post on the social media platform states, “I’m a Seahawk! Thank you Jesus!”
Smith-Njigba reacted to his team’s advancement to the Super Bowl in a postgame interview after defeating the Los Angeles Rams on Jan. 25.
“I just want to give all glory to God,” he proclaimed. “Without Him … I’m nothing.”
Giving thanks to the Lord for “what He has had on this team and in this city and myself,” Smith-Njigba reiterated, “I just want to give Him all the glory.”
During a postgame press conference, Smith-Njigba again stressed that “I want to give all glory to God."
“Win or lose, draw, I wouldn’t be here without Him," he said.
