Jaxon Smith-Njigba offers awkward take on Bears’ new OC

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba did not exactly give his former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron a ringing endorsement.

Smith-Njigba recently made an appearance on the “CHGO Bears” podcast at Super Bowl week’s Radio Row located at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev.

The Seahawks wideout was asked to give Bears fans some insight on Waldron, who was hired as the Bears’ offensive coordinator last month. Waldron served as the Seahawks’ OC under Pete Carroll over the last three seasons.

Smith-Njigba spent a full seven seconds stammering before sheepishly asking, “Is this live?” He then appeared to brush off the awkward silence as a joke.

“I’m playing. I mean, good luck to [Bears fans]. He’s a great person,” said Smith-Ngijba.
