Pickle’s 5 final thoughts from the Week 7 DCTF Road Tour Game of the Week

Jaxon-Smith Njigba is legit in every phrase of the game

Yes, any person who follows Texas High School Football can agree that the Ohio State commit is a stud wide receiver. There is no question that almost any team Jaxon Smith-Njigba plays against he will be the most elite player on the field. What proved this to be true in his game against Rockwall-Heath was not watching JSN on offense, it was watching him as the punt returner. The phrase, “Patience is a virtue,” is preached often but in the scope of being a punt returner this phrase is proven to be true time-and-time again. The sheer level of capability to own the field every time he returns a punt speaks wonders on his understanding of the game. The moment he receives the punt, you see the wheels begin to turn. He knows exactly when to showcase his quickness by blowing past defenders, but also shows an exemplary skill of seeing the field as a whole. The senior knows where the holes are in the coverage and will execute any top-level athletic move he has up his sleeve to gain extra yardage for his offense to take the field in better position.
