Super Bowl 2026: Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the offensive stars who will decide the game

There will be some good defense played in Super Bowl 60, but there is also to some big-time offensive talent that will be on display as well.

Let’s ranks the top 5 non-quarterback offensive skill position players playing as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks meet in Santa Clara, California.

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba

This is a great wide receiver and he is the only first-team Associated Press All-Pro playing in this game. Smith-Njigba is a true star. He had 119 catches for 1,793 yards. He’s capable of carrying the Seahawks to a Super Bowl title. He showed that as he had 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in the NFC championship game win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was the best offensive player on the field in a game that was teeming with offensive talent.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker

Walker reminded everyone of what he can be when he scored three touchdowns against San Francisco in the divisional round and he added another score against the Rams. Seattle is relying on him even more with Zach Charbonnet out with a knee injury.

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed

What a fun player. Shaheed set the tone for the Seahawks’ blowout win over the 49ers by returning the opening kickoff for a score. It displayed his big-play capability. Shaheed, who had 59 catches during the regular season with the Saints and Seahawks, had just one catch in the NFC championship game, but it was a big one that went for 51 yards. He can hurt defenses as a receiver, rusher and and a returner. He’s a problem.

Patriots WR Stefon Diggs

Diggs is not the player he used to be, but he is still capable of having big games. It wouldn’t be a surprise if New England pulls off an upset, it will be because Diggs will come up big in the Super Bowl. He had five 100-yard games during the 2025 NFL season but only 73 yards combined spread across three playoff games.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson

This a nice player. He’s a role player, but he finds ways of contributing regularly. He’s capable of breaking off a big play at any time. He’s a weapon for New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Seattle must account for him.
